Penn State 2026 prospect Elijah Satchell discusses MVP performance at Big Man Challenge, potential fit with program
Football is a game of size. So, when checking prospects at Penn State's summer camps, it's normal to start with whichever players literally stand out from the crowd. That's doubly true when evaluating offensive and defensive linemen, such as the ones at Penn State's final Big Man camp on June 21 last month. Our story today starts with a four-star offensive lineman in 2026, Tyler Merrill. At 6-5 319 pounds, even if he wasn't already near the top of Penn State's offensive lineman board, he would be the moment he stepped onto campus the first time. We spent the better part of that camp following Merrill to see how he was progressing in his high school development. But something interesting happened once the camp concluded with one-on-one pass-rushing drills. He began to struggle against a smaller, more unassuming defensive end. Here's where we first meet New Jersey pass rusher Elijah Satchell.
