John Pastore (b. Dec. 24, 2003) is a mean young offensive tackle from Erie (Colo.) High School who redshirted in 2022 and did not play to put a bit more weight on his tall frame.

Pastore played under head coach Jeff Giger at Erie, where he was regarded as the 35th-best offensive guard and fourth-best overall player in Colorado for the Class of 2022 by ESPN.

He helped to lead the Tigers to a 13-1 record and trip to the state championship as a senior.

Pastore, who is majoring in business administration, also showed top athleticism by blocking four field goals as a junior, the most in Colorado during a single season, as he earned second-team all-state, first-team all-conference and first-team all-region accolades.
