Penn State offensive tackle Olu Fashanu, a projected top-10 NFL draft pick, will not play Saturday against Ole Miss in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.
Fashanu declared for the NFL draft on Dec. 22 but accompanied his teammates to Atlanta and had not said whether he would play against the No. 11 Rebels.
ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. projects Fashanu as the No. 8 overall prospect for the 2024 draft. Fashanu started 12 games for No. 10 Penn State this season and was named Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year, as well as earning co-MVP honors from the team.
