Olumuyiwa Fashanu is a three-year contributor at left tackle for the Penn State Nittany Lions. Made one start during the 2021 season, but saw significant time in 2022.

He displays good footwork to slide out and remains in front of speedy edge rushers. Handles violent hand usage quite well to keep the defender on his outside shoulder. Has a solid ability to create drive up the middle to open up running lanes. His athleticism is solid, as it allows him to get out of his stance quickly to reach blocking assignments out in space or at the second-level. Shows a very good ability to anchor and hold his ground versus power off the edge. He has very good strength to attack double-teams and hold his ground.
However, swim moves inside are a struggle for him to handle and recover from. Displays an adequate recovery ability against spin moves both inside and outside. Inconsistent ability to attack defenders that are just out of his reach off the edge. His hands can get a bit wide when blocking out in space or upfield.
