Antonio Tripp Jr. is a powerful and technically sound offensive lineman entering his redshirt freshman season at FIU. A former four-star recruit and product of the nationally renowned IMG Academy, Tripp brings elite pedigree, high-level experience, and a relentless work ethic to the Panthers' offensive front.

Tripp began his college career at the University of Miami in 2023, where he redshirted as a member of the practice squad. Despite not seeing game action, he used the year to refine his technique and adjust to the pace and physicality of the collegiate level.

At IMG Academy, Tripp was a dominant force on the line, helping lead the team to a 9–1 record while averaging nearly 50 points per game. He earned national recognition as one of the top offensive guards in the country, drawing offers from major programs like Michigan, Penn State, Texas A&M, and Tennessee before committing to Miami.

Now at FIU, Tripp is poised to make an immediate impact as he begins the next chapter of his career. With his size, strength, and high football IQ, he has all the tools to become a cornerstone of the Panthers’ offensive line for years to come.
