Drake freshman OL Lincoln Oltmann brings size and rookie upside to the Bulldogs
In the 2026 season, Lincoln Oltmann is a 6-foot-3, 260-pound freshman offensive lineman for Drake out of Cedar Rapids Kennedy, and he looks like a developmental piece with room to grow into his frame[1][3][5]. What makes him interesting is the classic interior-line profile: young, compact, and early in his college climb, which often signals coachability and upside more than immediate stat-sheet noise[1][5]. He is not listed with meaningful season statistics yet, so the real story is projection—can he add strength, sharpen technique, and turn raw tools into reliability? That’s the kind of player a staff likes to mold, not just monitor[1][3].
