Top NFL draft prospect Olu Fashanu will return to Penn State

Penn State left tackle Olu Fashanu told ESPN that he's returning to school next year, a surprising move in NFL circles considering he is projected as the top offensive line prospect in the upcoming NFL draft.

Fashanu, 19, is a redshirt sophomore who is in his first full season as a starter at Penn State. Fashanu is 6-foot-6, 310 pounds and played high school football at Gonzaga College High in Washington D.C.

Fashanu established himself as one of the top offensive linemen in the country this season, with some scouts projecting him as likely a top-10 draft pick.
