Stanford’s steady, academic, no-sack guard with starter upside
In the 2025 season, Simione Pale played four games and started three at right guard, and Stanford noted he was the only Cardinal offensive lineman to play at least four games without allowing a sack[1]. In the 2024 season, he started all 12 games at right guard and allowed just one sack, which lines up with the profile of a dependable interior blocker who stays on the field when healthy[1]. At 6-foot-4 and 320 pounds, with ACC All-Academic honors and a reputation as a top-ranked high school recruit, he looks like a physical, smart fit for a power run game[1][6].
