Big Ten-sized developmental tackle with real upside
Tompkins is a 6-foot-5, 311-pound offensive lineman who arrived at Penn State as a transfer from Iowa State and is projected as a 2026 depth piece rather than an immediate starter. His appeal is the classic trench trifecta: size, athletic frame, and long-term development runway, with recruiting services viewing him as a solid three-star-level prospect and a transferable Big Ten body. The catch is simple—he has not yet played in a college game, so this is more “future investment” than instant impact. If your team wants a high-upside lineman to mold, he fits the profile nicely.
