The Patriots announced on Friday afternoon that they have third round draft pick Caedan Wallace. 

Wallace, 24, was selected by the Patriots in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft with the 68th overall pick out of Penn State.

The 6’5, 314-pounder was named honorable mention All-Big Ten Conference while starting in all 13 games at right tackle during the 2023 season. He also earned the school’s Lion’s Pride Outstanding Senior Player Award last year.

Wallace primarily played right tackle during his time in Happy Valley but the Patriots have said they think he can move over to the left side. Executive Vice President of Football Operations Eliot Wolf said as much after the team drafted Wallace.

“Yeah, we feel like Caedan has the athleticism to play over on the left side. Really, his teammate, Olu Fashanu, that the Jets drafted was the reason that he played on the right. So athletically, there’s no reason why he couldn’t make the switch over there. He’s a really smart, dedicated kid that we feel like can handle that.”

Wallace has repped on both sides so far this spring but we will get more of a sense of what the team’s plans are for next week at the team’s mini-camp from June 10-12th
