Skoronski, a three year starter at left tackle, is one of the most decorated players in Northwestern history. This past season, he became the first unanimous First Team All-American in program history and 15th consensus All-American. He also became the first Wildcat to be named Rimington-Pace Offensive Lineman of the Year by the Big Ten. A projected first round pick in the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft, Skoronski was graded as the top pass-protector in the country by Pro Football Focus, with a 93.0 pass blocking grade after allowing only six pressures on 480 pass-blocking snaps. According to PFF, it marks the best single-season pass-blocking grade recorded over the last two years. The Park Ridge, Illinois native's 79.1 run-blocking grade also ranks 5th among all qualifying Power 5 tackles.
