Massive Penn State tackle with real upside and room to grow
In the 2026 season, Owen Aliciene enters Penn State as a redshirt freshman developmental offensive tackle with prototype size at roughly 6-7 and 303 pounds, plus early flashes that have coaches intrigued. He was a four-star recruit and top-30 tackle prospect in his class, and his limited 2025 game action included 22 snaps at left tackle with a strong 75.2 PFF grade and 81.1 run-blocking mark. The appeal is easy: long, athletic, and still climbing physically, he looks like a future starter if his technique catches up to his frame.
