UNI freshman Tono Cornell brings size and rugged run-stopping upside to the Panthers’ defensive line
Tono Cornell is a **6-foot-2, 312-pound** freshman defensive lineman for UNI who earned a strong prep profile as a physical interior player and a two-star recruit out of Iowa City High.[3][5][6] In high school, he showed enough disruptive ability to post **6.5 tackles for loss as a senior** while also being trusted on the offensive line, which hints at toughness, leverage, and versatility rather than just raw size.[6] The fit is clear if you want a **big-bodied DL** who can anchor against the run and develop into more as he gains college polish.[3][6]
