Former blue-chip OT who has rebuilt his career at Purdue
Tanona is a 6-foot-6, 305-pound offensive lineman whose value goes beyond raw size: he was a consensus four-star recruit, earned high-level track-and-field marks in high school, and has shown enough versatility and football IQ to draw praise as a tackle who can handle multiple spots up front. In 2024, he appeared in 10 games for Purdue, logging 56 offensive snaps and 22 on special teams, while continuing to work back from the major injury history that derailed his Notre Dame start. He looks like a sturdy, developmental fit for a line-needy team that values toughness and upside.
