Noel Portnjagin

A burley offensive line prospect that’s surprisingly quick-footed for someone his size: over 6-foot-5 and north of 330 pounds. Has only been playing football for a few years now, but progressed rapidly through the German youth system and spent much of 2023 competing alongside grown men in the nation’s top league for a club that made the championship game. Could offer some versatility up front having repped at both tackle spots, but future looks to be on the interior. Establishes a wide base and can bully opponents with his raw power. Shifts weight well and frequently looks to be in control of his body. Likely going to experience some early growing pains when he arrives in the United States, but has the physical makeup of someone that can make a difference up front if he can soak up coaching and digest the complex blocking schemes that many try to run on Saturdays.
