TJ Shanahan Jr. brings NFL-sized interior power and versatility to Penn State
In the 2025 season, TJ Shanahan Jr. was a steady interior lineman for Penn State, appearing in all 13 games with five starts and handling both left and right guard while not committing a penalty; he also posted a 75.1 pass-block grade that finished inside the top 100 FBS guards. His value is in the boring-but-gorgeous stuff coaches love: size, flexibility across the interior, and pass-protection reliability rather than highlight-reel flash. If your team wants a powerful, assignment-sound guard who can survive high-level reps and keep the pocket clean, he’s a fit.
