Northwestern offensive lineman Peter Skoronski declares for 2023 NFL Draft
Northwestern offensive lineman Peter Skoronski announced his intention to enter the 2023 NFL Draft in a social media post Friday morning.
Skoronski is widely viewed as one of the top offensive lineman prospects in this year’s draft and was a preseason All-American prior to this season. He anchored the Northwestern offensive line in 2021, earning first team All-Big Ten recognition from the coaches and helped Evan Hull notch a 100-yard season.
After the Wildcats’ Week 0 win over Nebraska, Skoronski earned Offensive Player of the Week honors from Pro Football Focus after he didn’t allow a sack.
