Enoch DeMar (born September 7, 1980) is a former professional American football offensive lineman who played two seasons for the Cleveland Browns.[1] He played college football at Indiana.

High school career[edit]

DeMar attended Arsenal Technical High School in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he played football for the first time as a sophomore after having only played basketball.[2] Playing the left tackle position,[3] he was selected to the Indiana All-Star Classic as a senior.[4] Recruiting analyst Tom Lemming called him "one of the Midwest's most underrated ballplayers and the state's top offensive line prospect."[5]

College career[edit]

DeMar played college football at Indiana, where he redshirted his first season in 1998.[5] He earned the starting left guard position the following year after a back injury to senior Matt Snyder, and went on to start every game that season.[5][6] DeMar was converted to a right tackle in 2000, and was the only returning starter on the offensive line.[7][8] In 2001, he was moved to right guard.[9] Finally, as a senior, DeMar played left tackle.[9]

Professional career[edit]

After going undrafted in the 2003 NFL draft, DeMar signed a free agent contract with the Cleveland Browns. He was one of only four undrafted free agents to make the final 53-man roster.[10]
