PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Jake Slaughter (C) enters the 2025 season as one of the most polished and pro-ready interior offensive linemen in college football. After starting all 13 games in 2024 and facing elite SEC competition week after week, Slaughter graded above 80.0 in both run and pass blocking—something no other Power Four center accomplished. His ability to anchor, mirror, and recover at a high level gives him plug-and-play starter appeal in the NFL. He’s an ideal fit in a zone-based scheme that prioritizes movement skills and combo-block efficiency, though he has enough functional strength to thrive in gap-based systems as well. With his combination of technique, football IQ, and versatility, Slaughter is a top Day 2 target who could sneak into the first round with another strong campaign.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
High-End Starter Potential (65-69)
A player expected to become a top-tier starter within their first few years. They possess strong physical tools and good technical skills but may have some limitations in their game. With development, they can reach near-elite levels and provide consistent impact at their position.
