- Ravens attend Penn State Pro Day for close look at All-American offensive guard
The Ravens finished 8-9 last season, and a major factor in their downfall was the lack of efficient play at the offensive guard positions. While there are holes at key positions, landing a center and two offensive guards could be on the menu after a dismal performance in 2025 from the interior positions. Daniel Faalele is a free agent and should depart, while Andrew Vorhees is a candidate for demotion. In 969 snaps, Vorhees allowed three sacks, and his 54.6 grade from PFF was 60th out of 81 offensive guards. Rookie Emery Jones Jr. spent most of the season rehabbing a shoulder injury, but he only had a 50+ PFF grade in the three games he was active.
That leaves the NFL draft, where Baltimore has the 14th pick, and could look towards a Penn State All-American offensive guard. According to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec, Ravens offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford was in attendance at the Nittany Lions Pro Day, scouting top prospect Vega Ioane, a powerful guard who has been consistently linked to Baltimore pre-draft.
Ioane was a steady force at the guard spot for the Nittany Lions, allowing only two pressures and zero sacks last season. Ioane plays with intense power and quickness, using 330 pounds of elite force, earning second-team All-America honors from the Walter Camp Football Foundation as an offensive guard. Ioane was selected to the All-Big Ten Second Team in 2024 and to the Honorable Mention Team in 2023. He'll exit State College after playing in 44 games and making 32 starts at Penn State. According to PFF, he allowed zero sacks and three pressures in 310 pass blocking snaps in 2025.
