2025 INTERIOR OFFENSIVE LINE Prospects
top 10 GUARDS
1. TYLER BOOKER (ALABAMA) 6’5” 352 LBS.
Booker was a former five-star offensive tackle coming into the 2022 class. Even though he wasn’t the starter he got significant time playing 420 snaps as a true freshman. Javien Cohen transferred to Miami and Booker became the starting left guard in 2023. He is a powerful player with a nasty streak that earned 1st team all-SEC.
2023 STATS: PB – 74.1 RB – 71.2
2. DONOVAN JACKSON (OHIO STATE) 6’3” 320 LBS.
This will be the third year in a row that Jackson has been high up on our rankings. He was the number one interior offensive lineman in the 2021 class. Played in all 13 games as a true freshman and earned 1st team BIG-10 as a sophomore. Jackson is a very good mover that gets to the 2nd level and does a good job pulling. Thought he showed more growth in his game than the previous year.
2023 STATS: PB – 72.7 RB – 67.3
3. JONAH SAVAIINAEA (ARIZONA) 6’5” 330 LBS.
Was a three-star in the 2022 class that came in right away at right away at right guard for the Wildcats. He was kicked out to right tackle and did a good job there as well. He is a solid athlete with good strength and movement skills. I think he would be a better fit as a guard when he was out on an island defenders were able to have success when they gained a step on him. He can get push as a run blocker and has good enough movement skills to get to the 2nd level and make blocks in space.
2023 STATS: PB – 81.7 RB - 61
4. TATE RATLEDGE (GEORGIA) 6’6” 310 LBS.
Ratledge has the frame of an offensive tackle and was one of the top offensive tackles in the 2020 recruiting class. He became the team's starting right guard in 2022 where he has become one of the better pass-protecting guards in college football. He also shows power and finish in the run game putting defenders on their backs.
2023 STATS: PB – 87.4 RB – 71.9
5. JAEDON ROBERTS (ALABAMA) 6’5” 316 LBS.
Roberts was only a three-star recruit for the Tide who saw little action until last season. He was not the starter until the 6th game vs Texas A&M. He solidified that offensive line when he came in. When I think of Roberts I think of strength. He is a powerful player that can manhandle defenders. His movement skills are average, but he is as powerful of a lineman in this draft class.
2023 STATS: PB – 76.1 RB - 78
6. GARRETT DELLINGER (LSU) 6’5” 325 LBS.
Dellinger was one of the better offensive tackles in the 2021 recruiting class. As a true freshman, he played in 12 games with 4 starts. Has been a versatile piece for LSU with starts at C, LG, and LT. He doesn’t initially pop off the screen with athleticism or quickness but you see him win reps over and over. Has very good grip strength and once he gets his hands on you it’s over.
2023 STATS: PB – 82 RB – 68.1
7. JOSHUA GRAY (OREGON STATE) 6’4” 307 LBS.
Gray has been in my rankings for several years now and has been at Oregon State since 2019. Became the team's starting left tackle in 2020 earning 2nd team all PAC-12. He is athletic enough to stay out at tackle but appears to be undersized. He didn’t have his best year a season ago as he was dealing with a foot injury. He is projected to kick inside to left guard this year.
2023 STATS: PB – 63.7 RB - 66
8. DYLAN FAIRCHILD (GEORGIA) 6’5” 315 LBS
Fairchild was one of the top guard prospects in the 2021 class. A former wrestler who knows how to play with leverage. Fairchild made 10 starts a season ago. He also split snaps at guard with another talented lineman from the 2021 recruiting class (Micah Morris). A good mover with good quickness off the snap.
2023 STATS: PB – 86.8 RB – 69.4
9. LUKE KANDRA (CINNCINATTI) 6’4” 323 LBS.
Kandra spent his first three seasons at Louisville before transferring to Cincinnati for the 2023 season. Does a good job with his technique and does very well with his hand placement. He is a solid athlete, and moves better straight ahead, than he does laterally.
2023 STATS: PB - 74.4 RB – 82.1
10. MICHAEL GONZALEZ (LOUISVILLE) 6’4” 307 LBS.
Gonzalez played both tackle spots and right guard in his first two years. In 2023 he settled in at left guard starting all 14 games earning 2nd team All-ACC honors. A mobile lineman who has good awareness in pass protection.
2023 STATS: PB – 77.9 RB – 67.3

top 8 CENTERS
1. JONAH MONHEIM (USC) 6’5” 305 LBS.
Monheim has been in our offensive tackle rankings for a while now. He started seven games at right tackle in 2021, then in 2022 he started 11 at right tackle and three at right guard. He switched over to left tackle in 2023 and has graded out well at both tackle spots. He may lack length and his best position in the NFL could be center. He has the athleticism and smarts to be a good center and USC will be letting him play there for the
2024 season.
2023 STATS: PB – 88.2 RB – 62.6
2. JAKE SLAUGHTER (FLORIDA) 6’5” 297 LBS.
Slaughter saw very little action in the 2021 and 2022 season. Last year he had 8 starts and played in all 12 games. Slaughter has excellent movement skills. Does a good job pulling and reaching 2nd-level defenders. Also showed good awareness and foot quickness in pass protection. Slaughter needs more experience and get stronger.
2023 STATS: PB – 78.4 RB – 78.9
3. PARKER BRAILSFORD (ALABAMA) 6’2” 275 LBS.
It is hard to find a place for Brailsford at 6’2” 275 lbs. He red-shirted in 2022 and started all 15 games a season ago. He is an excellent athlete with very good foot quickness. Despite his size, you did not see him get overpowered. Can play with leverage and has very good grip strength. Reminds me of former Huskie’s center Nick Harris who was a 5th-round pick in 2020 and is competing for the starting center job in Seattle. He is one of our favorite players to watch for this class.
2023 STATS: PB – 78.4 RB – 80.3
4. JARED WILSON (GEORGIA) 6’3” 310 LBS
Wilson saw some snaps at both guard spots in 2022 (67 combined). Last year he saw 111 snaps at center in 13 games. The little we saw from Wilson got us excited. He looks like a very good athlete that explodes off the snap. There are still a lot of unknowns but this being a weak center class we like the upside of Wilson becoming one of the better centers this year.
2023 STATS: PB – 70.6 RB – 67.1
5. BYCE FOSTER (KANSAS) 6’5” 330 LBS.
Foster has a ton of experience starting as a Ture freshman in 2021 for A&M. In 2022 he red-shirted due to a season-ending injury. He returned and started all 12 games a season ago and transferred to Kansas for the 2024 season. Foster was similar to a lot of the linemen at A&M the past couple of seasons. There were times he looked like a top 100 pick and times he looked like a late round or UDFA. He will be two years removed from injury and with a coach who has done a good job developing offensive lineman Lance Leipold.
2023 STATS: PB – 67.4 RB – 65.2
6. BRIAN STEVENS (VIRGINIA) 6’2” 296 LBS.
Stevens spent his 2019 to 2022 seasons in Dayton before transferring to Virginia. Came in and started the first two games at right guard and the last 10 at center. He moves well, has good technique, and even shows some finish. With him being undersized he must continue to play at a high level to get drafted. He consistently won his reps and was one of the more surprising players we got to watch.
2023 STATS: PB – 80 RB – 76.6
7. COOPER MAYS (TENNESSEE) 6’2” 305 LBS.
Cooper was not blessed with the size of his brother Cade Mays who was 6’6” and 6th round draft choice for the Carolina Panthers. He was a four-star recruit who started two games and played in 10 as a true freshman. 2022 was the only season he did not miss games due to injury, missing five games in 2021 and four games in 2023. He lacks height but has good power and athleticism.
2023 STATS: PB – 65.3 RB – 60.8
8. CONNOR TOLLISON (MISSOURI) 6’4” 290 LBS.
Tollison was a four-star tackle recruit for the Tigers in the 2020 class. He has been the starting center for the Tigers since the 2022 season. He has a much better year in 2023 than he did in 2022. He has good mobility and does a good job as a zone blocker. He has a lean frame and needs to continue to add weight and get stronger. He made significant improvements, but you saw games where he struggled to know where blitzes were coming from and who was responsible for picking them up. With more experience I expect communication and recognition in those areas will improve.
2023 STATS. PB – 64.8 RB – 80.4
