One of the tallest and most imposing hockey players ever is set to join Penn State for the NCAA season next year.
Penn State, a powerhouse in NCAA hockey for decades, is about to get even more formidable. They will become an even greater force with the addition of 16-year-old Russian prospect Alexander Carmanov.
Penn State has received a commitment from Russian 2008-born forward Alexander Carmanov.
Karmanov stands an impressive 7 feet tall and weighs around 250 pounds. Opponents will certainly have their hands full dealing with his massive presence on the ice.
It remains to be seen how his size will translate to college success, but Penn State's signing of Karmanov is intriguing. Depending on his performance, he could become a highly sought-after prospect in future NHL drafts.
So far in his junior career, Karmanov's height and weight haven't hindered his performance. He has excelled in three major tournaments, including two U16 events and one U18, and has tallied nine points in 18 games.
