The fifth-ranked offensive lineman in PRZ NV's 2026 rankings has been flying under the radar mostly due to getting limited reps and film behind one of the best OL units in the country last season. He offers major upside in his combination of size (6'4"/300) and physicality and should be due for a breakout senior season in the fall. He's powerful and precise with his hands in dealing with rushers and possesses the strength to move DTs off the spot. Tausinga has his recruiting stock trending up coming into the summer months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">After a great conversation with <a href="https://twitter.com/coachkmr?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coachkmr</a> I've been blessed to receive an offer to The Sacramento State.
