Massive, international OL project with intriguing upside
Samu Suominen is a 6-foot-4, 330-pound sophomore offensive lineman for UMass from the NFL Academy in Finland, and he looks like a classic developmental tackle/guard piece with real power potential. In 2025, UMass listed him as a freshman who did not compete, while preseason roster data for 2026 still points to a young lineman in the build phase rather than a proven starter. His biggest differentiator is size plus background: he arrives with a run-blocking profile, a long-way-from-home edge, and the kind of raw upside that can interest a staff willing to coach up technique and consistency.
