College career[]

Alsadek attended the University of Arizona, where he played on the Arizona Wildcats football team from 2013 to 2017 starting for four years at right guard.[1]

During Alsadek's redshirt Freshmen year in 2014 he was awarded Freshmen All-American honors by USA Today.[2] A member of the offensive line that blocked for the Wildcats to average 463.6 yards of offense per game and 34.5 points per game … Running back Nick Wilson (1,375 yards) and quarterback Anu Solomon (3,793 yards) set school freshman records in their respective categories.[3]

In 2016 Alsadek and the Wildcats Offensive Line was the conference’s top rushing offense (235.0 yards per game). He started at right guard in the Territorial Cup (Nov. 25) when UA produced three 100-yard rushers for the second time in school history and set a new program record with 511 yards on the ground. He was named team’s Hard Edge Player of the Week for his effort in Utah game (Oct. 8).[3] In 2015 Alsadek and the Wildcats Offensive Line paved the way for 494.9 yards per game, including 222.3 yards on the ground.[3]

In 2017 according to, Pro Football Focus, Alsadek received first team All-Pac-12 honors and an 86.4 grade, making him the fourth-best lineman and best right guard in the Pac-12.[4][5] He earned All-Pac-12 honorable mention as a senior in 2017 by the Pac-12 Committee.[6] In 2017 Athlon Sports also named Alsadek to their First Team All-Pac-12.[7] Alsadek in 2017 led and anchored an Offensive Line that led the Pac-12 and was ranked third nationally in the regular season with 309.3 rushing yards per game. Arizona allowed fewest sacks of any Pac-12 team in regular season. Wildcats rushed for at least 152 yards in all 12 games, including 10 performances with 200-plus yards, seven over 300 yards, four over 400 yards and a school-record 534 yards against Oregon State (Nov. 11). Alsadek was named the team’s Hard Edge Player of the Week in Arizona’s victory at Colorado (Oct. 7).[3]

He played in all but four games throughout his career and started a total of 46 games for the Wildcats. Coming in at one of the most technical positions in a zone blocking system in itself was difficult, but he was also a leader on the field. Voted as one of four team captains his redshirt senior year, Alsadek noted he wasn’t much of a “rah rah” type of guy, but leads by example and the way he carries himself on and off the field.[1]
