Penn DL Connor Martin showed promising rookie production in 2024
Connor Martin enters 2026 as a 6'4", 255-pound Penn defensive lineman whose 2024 freshman season flashed real disruption: four games played, two sacks, 2.5 tackles for loss, two hurries, and a pass breakup. His value is not just the box score—he looks like a compact, productive edge-to-interior piece who can create backfield stress quickly, which is exactly what coaches want from a rotational DL. The big question is volume and consistency, but the early return suggests a high-motor defender with upside if his snap count grows.
