Chase Arends brings veteran size and steady trench value to UNI’s offensive line
A **redshirt senior** at **6-3, 270 pounds**, Arends is a dependable interior presence for UNI whose value shows up in run-game consistency and assignment soundness more than flashy box-score stats. He earned **MVFC Offensive Lineman of the Week** recognition in 2023 after a strong outing in which UNI’s offense delivered a career-high passing day and a 191-yard rushing performance against Youngstown State, signaling that he can help tilt the line of scrimmage when the Panthers are rolling. For a team needing a mature, physical, low-mistake blocker, he looks like a practical fit.[2][3][1]
