Kaeden Penny

Oklahoma Sooners

Offensive Tackle

Nebraska

Like Troy Fautanu, Kaeden Penny is a fluid, smooth moving offensive lineman with the athleticism that points to projectable versatility along the offensive front. Similar to Fautanu, Penny may not have the prototypical stature of an offensive tackle, but has the coordination and compensatory skills to stay on the perimeter in college if needed. Penny also plays on defense showing Power 4 ability as a defensive lineman, with Fautanu playing defensive line through his sophomore season of high school. 

Coordinated and twitchy tackle with excellent footwork and body control as a pass protector. Two-way high school player who doubles along the defensive line. High-quality mover with athletic ability that translates when moving in space and climbing to the second level. Very balanced and under control in pass protection, plays with great center of gravity. Understands body positioning and leverage in the run game. Walls off defenders and creates clear pathways. Need to see more violence at the point of attack in the run game, which can develop as he gets bigger and stronger. Has the athletic ability and technical skills to thrive in pass protection early at the next level. Will need to develop and transform his body in order to be a big factor in the run game, but has the physical build and technique to be a people mover after he fills out his frame.
