Penn State’s Olu Fashanu Selected 11th Overall by The New York Jets

Olu Fashanu, one of the best Penn State offensive linemen in recent memory, has found his new home. Fashanu continued his journey as a first round draft pick, being selected 11th overall by the New York Jets.

Fashanu may not have been perceived as an early pick when he joined Penn State as a three-star recruit out of D.C. However, despite being the 45th-best tackle in his class, Fashanu still had several notable offers from the likes of Georgia, Alabama, Michigan and Ohio State, among others.

Fashanu did not see the field as a true freshman in 2020, and began receiving snaps in 2021.
