Draft Profile: Bio
Anthony Donkoh came to Penn State from Lightridge High School in Aldie, Virginia, in the 2023 class. He redshirted as a freshman but started the Peach Bowl at right tackle.Donkoh took over at right tackle in 2024, earning honorable mention All-Big Ten and a spot as a semifinalist for the Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year award before a right leg injury at Minnesota ended his season. He moved to right guard in 2025, briefly left the Oregon game with another right leg injury and returned, then had an undisclosed medical procedure that kept him out of spring practice in 2026.
Donkoh was the first player to commit to new coach Matt Campbell, announcing his return on 30 December 2025. Back at right tackle this season, he has not allowed a sack and gave up one pressure in 80 snaps at Michigan.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Sack-free in eight starts back at right tackle
- Held Michigan to one pressure over 80 snaps
- Starting experience at right tackle and right guard over three seasons
- Big, powerful frame that moves defenders in the run game
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Wisconsin got three pressures on him and he drew a flag
- Flagged three times in eight games this season
- A right leg injury at Minnesota ended his 2024 season
- Missed spring practice in 2026 after a medical procedure
- Redshirt junior who could return for another season
Scouting Report: Summary
Donkoh is a big, physical right tackle with starting experience at two positions. He moves defenders in the run game, has kept his quarterback clean on sacks this season and handled a long day against Michigan with one pressure allowed.However, his medical file is long, from the leg injury that ended his 2024 season to the procedure that cost him spring practice this year. Wisconsin gave him problems, and penalties have crept in.
Overall, Donkoh has the size and experience to interest teams if he stays healthy. He projects as a priority free agent swing lineman, and a return to Penn State for 2027 is possible.
