Penn State Football After Two Top Transfer Portal Offensive Linemen

Tyler Steen – Vanderbilt 

Former Vanderbilt offensive tackle Tyler Steen entered the transfer portal last week and has seen a plethora of interest from power five schools however Sean Fitz of Lions247 reported that he met with James Franklin on Monday.

Steen is listed at six-foot-five and 315 pounds and was a three-year starter at Vanderbilt, starting 36 games over that span at both left and right tackle, a versatility Penn State Football could really use as they assess the offensive line for 2022.

An interesting anecdote as we await a decision from the big man is he will await the decision of his younger brother Blake Steen who is an uncommitted lineman in the 2022 high school class.

Blake is a three-star prospect out of Saint Thomas Aquinas in Florida, the same school Tyler attended.

He only holds on power five offers at this time, from Vanderbilt, which if he chooses the Commodores could lead to older brother Tyler staying put in Nashville.

Steen currently ranks as the number two tackle and 31st overall player in the transfer portal according to 247sports, so he would be a huge get for Franklin and the Nittany Lions. He could replace Caedan Walace at right tackle and allow Landon Tengwall to play inside at guard, making the offensive line combinations very appealing for coach Phil Trautwein.
