From Freshman Dream to Penn State Line

From seventh grade late bloomer to Penn State’s rising offensive lineman, David Tarawallie’s journey is pure grit. Starting at 6’4” and 190 lbs, he transformed his body through relentless diet discipline and gym work—now standing 6’6” and 260 lbs, benching 325 and squatting 425. With over a dozen offers, Penn State won him over with coach Ryan Clanton’s player-development vision and a campus visit that showed him they truly care for their athletes. His high school coach recalls his early length, but his explosive growth and physicality—speed off the ball, power through the line—have made him a force. He helped pave the way for a standout running back from his hometown, fueling his own drive. Now, he’s ready for his senior season with teammates before heading to Penn State to study business, bringing his game and heart to the field.
