Massive Clemson guard with rare power, but the 2024 ACL injury still shapes his outlook
Pennington is a **big-bodied, power-oriented interior lineman** for Clemson who has flashed value in limited snaps and even earned a **field-goal protection role** in 2025, but his profile is still defined by development and durability after a **season-ending ACL injury in 2024** and an earlier knee injury in 2021.[1][8] At 6-foot-5 and around 355 pounds, he brings the kind of size and strength that can help a team in the trenches, while his Clemson bio also points to a high-character, team-first resume with a degree earned, community service, and a Team Penske microinternship.[1][2]
