Early years

Cushenberry grew up in Carville, Louisiana and attended Dutchtown High School.[1] [2] Cushenberry initially committed to play college football at South Carolina, but de-committed before choosing LSU.[3]

College career

Cushenberry redshirted his true freshman season.[4] As a redshirt freshman, Cushenberry played in 11 total games with six games played on offense.[5] Cushenberry entered his redshirt sophomore year as the Tigers' starting center.[6] Cushenberry was named first-team All-SEC as a redshirt junior.[7] Following the end of the season, Cushenberry announced that he would forgo his final season to enter the 2020 NFL draft.[8]

Professional career

Denver Broncos

Cushenberry was selected by the Denver Broncos with the 83rd overall pick in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft.[9] Cushenberry was named the Broncos starting center going into his rookie season.[10] He made his NFL debut on September 14, 2020 when he started in the season opener against the Tennessee Titans. Cushenberry finished his rookie season starting all 16 games and playing in every single offensive snap.[11] He was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team.[12]

On November 8, 2022, Cushenberry was placed on injured reserve after suffering a groin strain.[13] According to Cushenberry, Denver "kept him on IR after he had recovered from his groin injury," and the Broncos did not reactivate him because he was third string.[14]

Tennessee Titans

On March 14, 2024, Cushenberry signed a four-year contract with the Tennessee Titans.[15] [16]
