1. Fano, Spencer*

Utah - 6060 / 309

Three year starter, Spanish Fork, Utah. In 2024 was first team All-Big 12 and was a 2023 Freshman All America. Has numerous relatives who are currently playing in the NFL. Started 11 games at left tackle as a freshman and then started 13 games as a right tackle as a sophomore. Fano is a smart player who is an excellent communicator. Termed as a “culture setter” for Utah’s football team. Has a great get-off and shows explosive power engaging defenders. Physical with punch and mirror in pass protection his footwork and balance help him recover.  With his quick feet he is an excellent run blocker who displays the ability to finish. His size could be a factor at the next level. He needs to gain some mass, but without sacrificing his asset, foot speed. Needs to work on hand placement in pass protection. Could potentially make a position change to guard at the next level.

2. Mauigoa, Francis*

Miami - 6066 / 315

Three year starter, Bradenton, FL. This native of ‘lli’ili, American Samoa is a 2024 All-ACC second team nomination and a 2023 Freshman All-America. Started all 13 games the last two last seasons at right tackle. This big-bodied man has excellent, violent athletic ability, with strong hands and an exceptional lower body strength. He appears to be making an upward rise in his play as the season moves forward. Physically checks all the boxes. Washes down the inside gap and is a “climber” to the second level. He is a dominant player when the defender is aligned on him. He struggles a bit in space. Has a thick muscular bottom half, which makes him need to continue to develop his “get off”. Needs to continue to improve upon getting the proper angles to arrive at his destination. It’s easy to see why he is so highly thought of in draft circles, Mauigoa has room for continued growth, which is a huge plus.

3. Proctor, Kadyn*

Alabama - 6070 / 366

Three year starter, Des Moines, IA. He is among the most intriguing prospects in this draft class. In 2024, Proctor was second team All-SEC and in 2023, Kadyn was named Freshman All- America. An early commit to Iowa, flipped to Alabama prior to the 2023 season, then transferred back to Iowa in 2024 before transferring back to Alabama. A starter at the top collegiate level since day one. One word describes this tackle - special. His reach and size are a cut above all, he has unusually good knee bend for a big man. Has range to ride out speedy edge rushers. Is light on his feet with an aggressive temperament. Big and nasty. Proctor‘s pad level rises as the game goes on, and like most big guys, needs to work on his hand placement. He will be an anchor left tackle at the next level with his continued development.

4. World, Isaiah 

Oregon - 6080 / 312

Four year starter, San Diego, CA. Started his collegiate career at Nevada, starting 35 of 36 games. After the 2024 season he transferred to Oregon. While at Nevada, World was a two-time honorable mention All-Mountain West selection. As he enters his fifth year at Oregon, World continues to trend upwards and appears to be handling the jump in levels. Athletic, he has excellent footwork and coordination, due in no small part to his basketball background. He sees what the defense presents him in recognizing blitz packages with very good reactions adjusting on the fly.  Needs to continue to develop his skills in run blocking. Like most taller tackles, he needs to lower his pad level and work on his hand placement. Must continue to develop his tool box at the highest level. As the season continues forward he will need to be watched as his skills continue to be refined.

5. Barber, Austin           

Florida - 6060 / 314

Two year starter, Jacksonville, FL. Through his hard work, Barber has emerged as a skilled offensive lineman who is trending upward as a member of the Outland Trophy watch list. Shows solid athleticism for an offensive lineman and can play either tackle position. With exceptional arm length, he has excellent hands and punch-timing. He is a tough feisty finisher… no time off when competing against Barber. Has an excellent first step and his great feet allow him to beat the defender to the spot in the zone scheme. Excellent getting to the second level. Finds where the linebackers are going and beats them to the spot. Punch and mirror in pass protection is excellent. Going forward, Barber needs to continue to work on pad level and to continue to work on his overall strength to match his excellent technique. A lunch pail player who will be an immediate help at the next level.
