Film Notes and Highlights
Not only is Olumuyiwa Fashanu incredibly talented player, but he will also be one of the youngest prospects in the 2024 NFL draft. He is the type of athlete teams should draft in the first round.
Fashanu, a two-year starter at Penn State, was an All-American left tackle in former offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich’s scheme. Although Fashanu still needs to improve as a run blocker, he is above average in pass protection, finishing his career with no sacks allowed in 733 pass
blocking snaps in 29 game. – Cesar Fuentes
Olumuyiwa Fashanu has excellent hand placement. It allows him to stay engaged in his block even when he’s overpowered. However, he can get pushed back into the pocket and will have issues against powerful Edges. He’s good at driving through his blocks in the run game and has the athleticism to block in space. Olu has good footwork, but can be caught stiff if underrating opponents rush. He’s one of the best tackles in the draft and guaranteed to go in the first round. – Thomas Christopher

Poor ball security by the QB, but a great rep by Penn State LT Olu Fashanu. Quick chip to help LG, quickly hits his assignment in the second level and creates the designed running lane. This is what you want to see from your OL. Especially against a good defense. pic.twitter.com/8JsWEozMSo
