One of the many possibilities for the Tennessee Titans at No. 7 overall in the 2024 NFL draft, Penn State offensive tackle Olu Fashanu is already quite familiar with quarterback Will Levis.
During Fashanu’s first year at Penn State in 2020, Levis was on the roster before eventually transferring to Kentucky.
Fashanu revealed that Levis was one of the older players who helped make his transition to Penn State easier and he would love to play with the second-year signal-caller again.
The pair have also been in contact recently.
“It would be great, playing with Will,” Fashanu said at his NFL Combine press conference on Saturday, per AtoZ Sports’ Sam Phalen. “Obviously, he was at Penn State my freshman year and he was one of the older guys that really made my transition to Penn State from high school ball a lot easier.”
“We were just catching up,” Fashanu said of his recent conversation with Levis. “I haven’t seen him in person since my freshman year, but it was a good conversation, we just caught up and just talked.”
Fashanu also said he has met with the Titans.
“Yeah, I met with the Titans,” Fashanu said. “It was a great meeting. Love the coaching staff.”
One quality that will be important for any left tackle the Titans select is the ability to start on Day 1. Fashanu believes he is ready to do just that.
“At the end of the day, I am super-confident in my ability to play right now,” Fashanu said, per Jim Wyatt. “I have been ready for this moment for a while, especially with the last couple of weeks training. I am extremely confident, and I am ready for this moment.”
