2023 NJCAA All-American OL Now Anchoring Eastern Illinois' 2026 Offense
Alejandro Arellano (#70, 6'3", 315 lbs) is a Redshirt Junior offensive lineman for Eastern Illinois who brings elite pedigree as a 2023 First-Team NJCAA All-American and NCAA All-Academic from College of DuPage, where he started 12 games at right guard [1][2]. His differentiator is a rare blend of high-intensity physicality and academic discipline, having earned First-Team All-Academic honors while dominating the NJCAA [1]. After redshirting in 2024 and 2025 to develop, he is projected as a likely starter for the Panthers in 2026, bolstering a rushing offense that ranked 69th nationally [2][8]. He is an ideal fit for teams seeking a technically polished, injury-free lineman with proven starting experience and a championship mindset.
