Top Offensive Linemen to Watch, Spencer Fano and Francis Mauigoa Lead a Powerful and Athletic 2026 NFL Draft Class

The 2026 NFL Draft offensive line class is loaded with high-end athletes, maulers in the run game, and versatile multi-position blockers ready to anchor NFL trenches. From first-round tackle talents like Spencer Fano and Francis Mauigoa to interior standouts like Jake Slaughter and Ar’maj Reed-Adams, this group blends physical dominance with technical polish. But no prospect may carry higher expectations in 2025 than Kadyn Proctor, who enters the season with elite physical traits and franchise-left-tackle upside. If he refines his leverage, footwork, and consistency, Proctor could elevate himself to the very top of the class. Top 2026 NFL Draft Offensive Linemen to Watch 📌 Grades follow the Football Scout 365 trait-based system, pairing film, measurables, and projection. Spencer Fano, Utah (OT) Ht/Wt:  6'5", 304 lbs Play Style/Scheme:  Balanced zone/gap Tackle Ceiling:   Near Elite Scouting Report: Fano is one of the most polished and athletic offensive linemen in college football. He graded No. 1 in FBS run blocking (93.6) while excelling on both the left and right side. With clean footwork, strong anchor, and positional flexibility, he projects as a Day 1 starter in any scheme and could even transition to guard at the NFL level. A first-round lock. Francis Mauigoa, Miami (OT) Ht/Wt:  6'6", 315 lbs Play Style/Scheme:  Wide zone/GAP versatile RT Ceiling:   Near Elite Scouting Report: Mauigoa is a rare blend of fluidity and power. After starting as a true freshman, he allowed just two QB hits/sacks across 500+ snaps in 2024. With continued improvement in hand usage and strength development, he has All-Pro potential. Ideal fit in wide-zone or balanced run games. Jake Slaughter, Florida (C) Ht/Wt:  6'5", 308 lbs Play Style/Scheme:  Zone-based Center Ceiling:   High-End Starter Potential Scouting Report: Slaughter is a technically sound center with above-average grades in both run and pass protection—something no other Power Four center accomplished in 2024. He can mirror and recover with ease, and he’s battle-tested in the SEC. With another year of strong tape, he could sneak into Round 1. Kadyn Proctor, Alabama (OT) Ht/Wt:  6'7", 369 lbs Play Style/Scheme:  Power/gap tackle with zone upside Ceiling:   High-End Starter Potential Scouting Report: Proctor brings overwhelming size and anchor strength. His improvement in 2024 was evident, allowing just two sacks and dominating late in the season. Conditioning and leverage remain key areas to watch, but his ceiling is that of a franchise left tackle if he continues his upward trajectory. Ar’maj Reed-Adams, Texas A&M (IOL) Ht/Wt:  6'5", 330 lbs Play Style/Scheme:  Power guard / zone-capable Ceiling:   High-End Starter Potential Scouting Report: Reed-Adams is a violent, downhill run blocker with a true mauler’s mentality. He finished second among Power Four guards in 2024 in overall grade and ranks high in Wins Above Average. He projects best in gap-heavy run games but has enough mobility to function in zone concepts as well. Logan Jones, Iowa (C) Ht/Wt:  6'3", 293 lbs Play Style/Scheme:  Zone-center / developmental anchor Ceiling:   High-End Starter Potential Scouting Report:  Jones led all Power Five centers in 2024 with an 83.6 PFF overall grade and a nation-best 82.3 run-blocking grade. His athletic background as a former D-lineman shows in his leverage and movement. He lacks elite anchor strength but projects as a long-term solution for zone-blocking teams.
