2023 Penn State football snapshot profile: No. 57 Ibrahim Traore
Going into the 2023 football season, Nittany Lions Wire will be looking at each scholarship player listed on the Penn State roster. Over the preseason, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for James Franklin this season.
Next up is a look at a potential deep reserve on the offensive line for the 2023 season, Ibrahim Traore. Out of the Bronx, Traore has been a bit of a project for the Nittany Lions since his arrival with the program, and he should be counted on to provide solid depth on the offensive line this fall once again. Here is a snapshot look at Traore entering the 2023 college football season.

Career Stats
Despite being a part of the program for the past three seasons, Ibrahim Traore has yet to step on the field for the Nittany Lions. He did not see any game action during his true freshman season in 2020, the modified and shortened COVID season, and he did not see any game action again in 2022 as a redshirt sophomore. Penn State does not note any game action for Traore in 2021 but does recognize him as the team’s developmental squad offensive player of the week for the week of the Michigan game that season.
Depth Chart Overview
It looks likely that Ibrahim Traore will play a deep reserve role on the offensive line once again in 2023. Traore is slotted as a right guard on the line, and that position looks to be filled with Sal Wormley as a starter and redshirt freshman Veha Ioane taking the top backup spot on the depth chart for the upcoming season.
