Peter Skoronski
Northwestern Wildcats
One-Liner:
A potential first-round pick that has the versatility to play any position on the offensive line with his size and athletic ability.
Evaluation:
No player in the history of Northwestern has entered Evanston with more hype surrounding him than Skoronski, who has lived up to the billing. In fact, he made a seamless transition stepping into the left tackle position in place of Rashawn Slater (opt out) as a five-star true freshman. Much like his predecessor, Skoronski possesses exceptional athleticism, great passion and high character. His quick feet and fundamentally sound technique are two of his more favorable attributes. In addition, he demonstrates high football intelligence and takes all the correct angles to setup his blocks. The hometown hero is a natural leader; coaches praise his work ethic and the time he dedicates with the younger players on the team. Skoronski has dominated in Big Ten play and is clearly built for the moment. His grandfather, Bob Skoronski, is a member of the Green Bay Packers' Hall of Fame and Peter is well on his way to trailblazing his own legacy in the league where they play for pay.
Grade:
2nd Round
Quotes:
“When you start building that relationship and you understand his personality and what his individual goals are … you realize that this guy was a perfect fit for the culture of this program. But probably more so, the culture that we’re trying to build within the offensive lineman.” -- Northwestern OL Coach Kurt Anderson on Peter Skoronski
Background:
For Northwestern, Skoronski was named All-Big Ten Second Team, the first Northwestern player to do so since 2017. Even as a first-year player, he started all the games where he helped his team earn sixteen rushing touchdowns and over one hundred and sixty-two yards per game. Pro Football Focus rated him as the highest graded true freshman and Skoronski will certainly be on people’s radar for this coming season.
