Charlie Symonds is a giant Stanford tackle with real developmental upside
In the 2024 season, Charlie Symonds appeared in nine games for Stanford, making his debut against Cal Poly and then working the final eight games on special teams, including field-goal and extra-point protection[1]. At 6-foot-8 and around 305 pounds, he brings rare length and mass for the edge, plus a multi-sport background and strong academic profile, which usually hints at coachability and steady growth[1][2]. He entered Stanford as a nationally ranked tackle recruit, but he is still more projection than proven starter, so he looks like a fit for teams that value size, patience, and long-term development[1][2].
