Tulane’s 6-foot-6 mauler Tristen Fortenberry is a rising, high-upside tackle with power and room to grow
In the 2026 season, Tristen Fortenberry is a redshirt sophomore offensive lineman at Tulane listed at 6-foot-6 and 315 pounds, after redshirting in 2024 and entering college as a three-star tackle from Pascagoula HS. His calling card is frame and raw strength—Tulane’s bio notes a 370-pound deadlift and 315-pound squat—while his all-state background suggests a legit competitive streak. The appeal here is upside: he looks like a developmental tackle who can become a dependable, physical edge protector if his technique keeps catching up to his size.
