Ryan Clanton’s line gets stronger, tougher, and more efficient in the trenches
Clanton has built a reputation as a high-upside offensive line developer whose units improve rushing production and pass protection, with Iowa State’s run game climbing from 108.0 yards per game in 2023 to 174.7 in 2025 and sacks staying among the nation’s best during his tenure.[2][11] His differentiators are physicality, teaching, and line cohesion—plus firsthand credibility as a former Oregon captain and multi-position starter who was praised for strength, work ethic, and playbook intelligence.[4][6][8] He looks like a fit if you want a tougher, more disciplined front that can grow with the season.
