Ricardo Fernandes brings size and upside to UNH’s offensive line
Ricardo Fernandes enters the 2025-26 season as a redshirt freshman offensive lineman for New Hampshire, listed at 6-foot-4 and 283 pounds after playing as a 276-pound freshman in 2024. The big sell here is developmental upside: he’s already added good mass, has a classic tackle/guard build, and is still early enough in his college career to grow into his frame. Because offensive linemen rarely post meaningful public stat lines, the key question is projection—and Fernandes looks like a physical, long-term depth piece with room to become a dependable starter if his technique keeps catching up to his size.
