Nick Demes was a tone-setting, All-Ivy-caliber anchor for Penn's offensive line
In the 2016 season, Nick Demes was Penn’s first unanimous first-team All-Ivy offensive lineman since 2009 and also earned AP second-team All-America honors, a strong signal that he wasn’t just steady — he was a difference-maker. He started all 10 games that year as a tri-captain, helping power the Ivy League’s leading rusher and protect a quarterback group that took the second-fewest sacks in the league. The appeal here is toughness, leadership, and line consistency; he fits a program that values smart, physical, dependable trench play.
