• Utah will feature an elite tackle pair: Spencer Fano and Caleb Lomu are poised to be top-five tackles in the 2026 NFL Draft if they can continue to excel in 2025.

• Francis Mauigoa is a key piece of Miami’s offense: He has been the Hurricanes’ starting right tackle for two years, since his freshman campaign, and brings a dense frame at 6-foot-6 and 315 pounds that could feature at tackle or guard at the NFL level.

PFF’s summer scouting for the 2026 NFL Draft rolls on. Today, we’re looking at offensive tackles, which naturally brings up a good conversation about arm length and what measurables the NFL typically looks for at the position.

Here are my early top 10 offensive tackles for the 2026 NFL Draft. 

1. SPENCER FANO, UTAH

There is a lot to like about Fano regarding his NFL potential. His 93.0 PFF run-blocking grade in 2024 was one of the highest in the FBS among all offensive linemen. He recorded a 20.9% impact run-block rate (how often he earned a positive grade on a run-blocking play) and just a 9.6% defeated run-block rate (how often he received a negative run-blocking grade). That all came while he weighed just over 300 pounds. There is room on his frame to carry more weight.

Fano also has quick footwork in pass protection with a low and loaded stance for good leverage. If he puts together a season similar to his 2024 campaign, we’ll be talking about him as a top-10 pick.

2. FRANCIS MAUIGOA, MIAMI (FL)

Mauigoa and his family made their way from ‘Ili’ili in American Samoa to California and now to Miami. Mauigoa carried a five-star recruiting ranking to the Canes program, where he has been their starting right tackle for two years, since his freshman campaign.

He has a dense frame at 6-foot-6 and 315 pounds that could feature at tackle or guard at the NFL level. He might have shorter arms that hint at guard being a long-term spot, but his quick footwork in pass protection makes you want to give him a shot at tackle first. Mauigoa earned a 72.2 PFF pass-blocking grade and a 68.5 PFF run-blocking grade last season, both top-70 marks among FBS tackles.

3. KADYN PROCTOR, ALABAMA

Proctor is a mammoth at 6-foot-6 and 360 pounds. He reminds you of Mekhi Becton at left tackle. Proctor was a five-star recruit who converted that label into a starting job right away. He can be an imposing, but not always consistent, run blocker who is naturally tough to get around. He does look like he could lose some weight and still be just as strong and maybe even a little lighter on his feet. He also seems to have shorter arms.

I believe Proctor’s best spot is at guard, but we’ll see if we need to evaluate him at tackle to reflect what the NFL thinks. He earned a 71.5 PFF pass-blocking grade and a 69.3 PFF run-blocking grade in 2024 — both top-75 marks among FBS tackles.

4. CALEB LOMU, UTAH

When it’s all said and done, Utah could have the two best offensive tackles in the 2026 NFL Draft — and they would just be third-year players coming out.

We already talked about Spencer Fano at the top, and now it’s Lomu’s turn. He mans the left tackle spot for the Utes and earned a 76.0 PFF pass-blocking grade and a 70.2 PFF run-blocking grade as a redshirt freshman starter in 2024. He’s a very good mover for zone-blocking schemes and has a finisher’s mentality once he gets his hands inside defenders. He displays good core strength to hang onto defenders after counters, and he possesses good eyes and a feel for where pressure is coming from.

Lomu, listed at just 304 pounds, could use about 10 more pounds of good weight. If he gets that, he has NFL ability.

5. CHARLES JAGUSAH, NOTRE DAME

Jagusah is so tough to rank, but I chose the higher end of his projection. He redshirted in 2023 and tore his pec before the 2024 season, logging only two games played over the span. At 6-foot-7 and 320 pounds, he handled playing left tackle in the national championship against J.T. Tuimoloau well for his first time starting there.

Jagusah’s arm length may have some consider him a guard, as it appears to be average at best. Unfortunately, we might not get to see him much in 2025 either, as he broke his arm this summer in a UTV accident. He’s a total projection right now, but even from just two games, I really liked his potential.

6. BLAKE MILLER, CLEMSON

Anyone who has been following my work since last summer knows I am a Blake Miller believer. The Clemson offensive tackle has been a starter for three seasons, soon to be four. Most of his time as a starter has been spent at a weight of less than 300 pounds. Because of that, his foot speed, kick slides, hand movements and anything that had to do with athleticism were very impressive, but he struggled to deal with power.

Now listed at 315 pounds, Miller will have to prove that he can still move as quickly. He also displays high offensive line IQ, understanding how to counter and handle different pass-rush moves. He earned a 76.4 PFF pass blocking grade in 2024 with an impressive 78.7 figure against South Carolina, the best pass-rush team he faced (specifically, edge rusher Dylan Stewart).

7. AUSTIN BARBER, FLORIDA

Barber, a redshirt senior, is poised to compete to be a top-50 selection next April with how well he played in 2024. The former high school basketball player is a good all-around athlete. He also displays great flexibility with a wide, strong pre-snap stance that allows him to fire off the ball in run blocking, whether downhill or in the outside zone. That low stance also help him consistently win with leverage, even against bigger and stronger defenders.

He needs to get stronger to maintain his blocks longer, and he must cut down on his penalties (nine total, five holding in 2024). But he shows starting potential for a zone-blocking scheme. 

8. CALEB TIERNAN, NORTHWESTERN

Tiernan earned the highest PFF pass-blocking grade in 2024 of any of the offensive tackles I watched for the 2026 class (88.9). He has a massive frame — 6-foot-7 1/2 and 320 pounds — although his arm length doesn’t match the height, so we could hear some conversations about his moving to guard like we did for Wyatt Milum.

But Tiernan simply produces. He is a smooth mover and so confident in his stature and abilities in pass protection. He doesn’t have a ton of pop at contact when run blocking, but there’s so much to like about his pass-blocking skill set.

9. JUDE BOWRY, BOSTON COLLEGE

Bowry played at left tackle opposite Ozzy Trapilo last season. At 6-foot-5 and 308 pounds, Bowry might lack some of the desired length to play offensive tackle, but he can be a contributing offensive lineman either inside or out due to how well he moves.

He is a natural for zone-blocking schemes, with his highest run blocking grades coming in that category (70.9). He also earned a 76.2 PFF pass-blocking grade last season, which tied him for 45th among FBS tackles. He’s more of a finesse lineman, and he does need to add some strength, but his flexibility and ability to play low with leverage advantages help mitigate that.

10. KAGE CASEY, BOISE STATE

Casey is an ass-kicker of an offensive lineman, earning an 81.1 PFF run-blocking grade on man/gap-scheme run-blocking plays in 2024. At 6-foot-5 and 316 pounds, he might lack the length the NFL looks for in true tackle prospects. But even if he’s a candidate to move inside, he already plays with the power you want to see there.

Casey posted a strong 83.6 PFF pass-blocking grade on true pass sets in 2024, despite potential length concerns. Still, he just doesn’t look as comfortable in pass protection the way he does when run blocking. Perhaps 2025 will show more natural movements as a pass blocker. If so, we may talk about him being drafted early in 2026.
