"A top prospect viewed as a potential right or left tackle in the NFL, Penning reportedly allowed just one sack and 11 pressures over 12 games in his final season at Northern Iowa. A standout size-wise at 6-7, 325, he was the only offensive lineman named a finalist for the Walter Payton Award, given to the top offensive player in the FCS. Penning generated a lot of positive attention at the Senior Bowl for his nasty streak and through-the-whistle intensity, raising the temperature of the drills and his defensive opponents – many of whom were from Power Five conferences. In short, he more than held his own. He was among 21 FCS players invited to scouting combine where he clocked a 4.89-second time in the 40-yard dash. At 235 pounds in high school, where he played tight end and defensive end, Penning put on the weight to transition to the offensive line. He's now in line to become the first Northern Iowa player ever drafted in the first round."
