Penn State's Olu Fashanu Suffers Thigh Injury at NFL Combine; B/R's No. 5 Prospect

Penn State offensive lineman Olu Fashanu suffered a right thigh injury during the NFL Scouting Combine on Sunday, per NFL Network's Stacey Dales.

According to Dales, Fashanu is in good spirits after the injury and believes he will be ready for his pro day on March 15. He will miss the remainder of the combine, however.

Fashanu is considered to be the No. 5 overall prospect and the top offensive lineman in this year's draft class by Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department.

Fashanu, who spent four seasons with Penn State, had a 78.8 PFF grade in 2023 across 722 total snaps. The 6'6", 317-pound prospect is expected to be one of the first players of the board in this year's draft, as Bleacher Report's 2024 NFL Mock Draft has him landing with the Tennessee Titans, who have the No. 7 pick.

Before going down with the injury, Fashanu recorded a time of 5.11 in the 40-yard dash, 1.77 in the 10-yard split, a 32" vertical jump and a 9'1" broad jump. He did not participate in the 3-cone drill, 20-yard shuttle or bench press.

While his day was cut short on Sunday, Fashanu is looking to bounce back from the injury and have a big pro day to assert himself as a top pick in the draft.
