Penei Sewell stepped into the starting left tackle spot at Oregon at just 17 years old—and he dominated.
Over the next two years, Sewell would start 20 games and rack up several awards including Freshman All-American, Unanimous All-American, and winning the 2019 Outland trophy award as the best FBS lineman. His 95.8 PFF Grade in 2019 was the highest of any offensive player in college football that season and the highest ever by an offensive lineman. Sewell opted out of 2020.
Now, just 20 years old, Sewell was selected by the Detroit Lions for another starting role, likely at right tackle.
