*Denotes Underclassman

1. Green, Cayden *

Missouri - 6050 / 324

Two year starter, Lee’s Summit, MO. Green initially attended Oklahoma before transferring to Missouri following the 2023 season. Academic honor roll a year ago at Missouri. This versatile lineman is capable of starting at both tackle or guard at the next level. His body type and physicality allow him to equally flourish at either position. Started thirteen games in 2024 at left guard and began the 2025 season at left tackle. An injury sustained in practice will sideline him until week eight. In the interim, Green has displayed excellent hand placement with a good pad level. A big thick athlete, physically can maintain an up the middle presence to protect the quarterback. His attitude is to finish, and he has shown good mobility and footwork. Green may lean forward a bit too much, and needs a little more seasoning to help develop his overall skills. A top talent, that needs to be seriously watched. 

2. Reed-Adams, Ar’maj     

Texas A&M 6050 / 330

Three year starter, De Soto, TX. Reed-Adams initially went to Kansas from 2020 to 2023 starting twelve games in 2023 before transferring to Texas A&M where he started 13 games in 2024. In 2025 Ar’maj was named team captain. A dominant run-blocker, he has combined both nastiness with the ability to think clearly and maintain the ability to play left guard, right guard and right tackle over his career. A strong, thick player, Reed-Adams moves defensive linemen backwards with his well-timed violent punch. Runs very well on short power pulls. Has shown marked improvement on his pass blocking. Tends to sometimes get too high and gives up his body's edge because of his aggressiveness. Needs to keep his on short yardage/goal line runs. Needs to work on solidifying his aiming point, as he sometimes over reaches. Appears to tire later in games, may need some additional conditioning work. 

3. Roberts, Jaeden             

Alabama 6050 / 325

Two year starter, Houston, TX.  A member of the Lombardi and Outland Trophy Watch List, Roberts continues an upward ascension amongst the top offensive linemen in the country, since bursting onto the scene in 2024, by starting 12 games. This big man displays a good temperament for the battle of being an interior lineman. Allows little penetration into the center of the passer's pocket, due in no small part to the length of his arms and his strength at the point of attack. Is capable of playing more than one offensive line position. Like most linemen, he needs to work on hand placement. He needs to keep his feet under him in space and force himself not to spread out. This will help him in getting to the linebackers more consistently. Needs to lower his pad level. Roberts has a propensity to be injury-prone in the past. All this being said, he continues to rise within the ranks.

4. Campbell, DJ                  

Texas 6030 / 330

Three year starter, Arlington TX. Started seven games as a freshman and 30 games in the last two years. He is the only returning starter on the offensive line for Texas. A big, physical athlete, a real people mover. An intelligent player who identifies what’s happening in front of him, appears to have an excellent understanding of the game. Has good straight-ahead power and footwork, if a player is located on him, it's easier work for him. Campbell needs to work on his lateral mobility, as he relies on his strength more than his technique. Plays with heavy feet, which is evident when he pulls on the power, he struggles to get in front of the play. Hand placement in pass protection is a continued process to develop. Campbell can be a lunger to compensate for later deficiencies. Needs to improve his skills to continue to develop and match his football acumen.

5. Bisontis, Chase *    

Texas A&M  6060 / 320

Three year starter, Ramsey, NJ. As a freshman, was named to first-team All-SEC freshman team, where he split time between right tackle and right guard over 13 games. After an injury-prone sophomore season, he started 10 games and has now settled in at left guard. Bisontis has displayed good knee bend and hand placement. He’s mobile and very athletic in recovery in the trenches. He shows very good footwork, particularly on reach blocks and climbing to the second level. Flashes pass protection skill with footwork and agility. Needs to improve overall pass protection. He tends to be a “leaner” and needs to get his weight back. Needs to continue to understand the aiming point within the offensive scheme. Will need to be open-minded to continue to develop through coaching. All the little things he picks up will be thrown into his toolbox. Has great potential to develop into a next level starter.
