Brenneman broke out as a sophomore last season. He’s followed that up with an excellent first half of 2025. We can witness evidence of his growth when watching highlights from the first four contests of his junior campaign. Operating at left tackle, Brenneman was credited with 26 pancakes in the first five weeks. His length and athleticism create an excellent foundation for future success. Brenneman is starting to realize his potential, showing added strength and improved technique this fall. He explodes off of the snap and often overwhelms opponents before they can get started.

If Brenneman makes another jump in his development like he did last year, the opposition is in trouble. Progress seems likely with a frame capable of adding mass and strength without the loss of athleticism and agility that make him intriguing. Schools like Wisconsin and Kansas State are interested and invited him to summer camps. They saw the considerable potential when watching his sophomore highlight film from 2024. Brenneman is worth developing at left tackle, where he lined up as a 10th-grader. The ceiling is high there. Defensive line should not be ruled out, however. He has an aptitude for making plays there. The good news is Brenneman has time to figure it out and upside no matter where he ends up.
