former Penn State OL recruit, not a current Nittany Lion contributor
Mark Farris was a highly regarded Penn State offensive line recruit in the 2002 class, listed at 6-6 and about 280–287 pounds, and was even described by recruiting coverage as a top-10 lineman nationally with all-state credentials[1][3][7]. But the available records point to a very different outcome: he was enrolled at Penn State and listed on early rosters, yet he never became a meaningful on-field contributor, which is why his profile is best viewed as a classic high-upside recruit who didn’t translate into game impact[2][5][10]. If you’re asking whether he fits a modern roster, the short answer is no—this is historical Penn State personnel, not a current player profile[2][10].
