Portland State’s Ben Kapelka brings developmental upside and workmanlike grit on the offensive line
Kapelka is a 6-foot-4, 260-pound junior OL for Portland State who redshirted in 2023 and spent 2024-25 on the scout team, so the arrow points more at development than box-score splash. What makes him interesting is the profile: local Northwest product, multi-sport background, and the kind of steady, practice-tested depth piece coaches usually trust when they want toughness, reliability, and room to grow. He looks like a fit for teams valuing athletic upside, academic focus, and a blue-collar motor over instant-impact headline stats.
