Julian Polendo has become a steady, physical anchor for Fresno State's offensive line
Polendo is a large, experienced interior lineman who earned a full-time starting role in 2025, starting 11 of 13 games at right guard after years of special-teams and spot-duty work. Fresno State says he helped fuel a rushing attack that posted its best ground production since 2018, while his size, strength, and versatility across guard, center, and protection units make him valuable in multiple roles. He is a good fit for teams that want a mature, dependable, developmental line piece with toughness and proven durability rather than a pure athletic upside swing.
