Marsel Akins brings developmental upside as a young Fresno State tackle
Akins is a **young, still-developing offensive tackle** for Fresno State who saw limited varsity action in 2025, appearing in two games while also contributing on special teams[5]. Listed around **6'3" and 285 pounds** on the 2026 roster, he offers a compact, physical frame that fits a power-oriented trench role, and his high-school track-and-field background suggests usable athleticism and explosiveness[3][4][6]. He is more of a *project with upside* than a proven starter right now, but that also means a staff that values developmental linemen and special-teams toughness could find him appealing[1][5].
