1. Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami (FL)
First Offensive Lineman Drafted in 2026 NFL Draft: Yes 1.35x | No 3.03x
Miami (FL) OT Francis Mauigoa has been viewed as the top 2026 offensive lineman prospect for most of the cycle. He entered college as a five-star prospect in the 2023 class, per 247 Sports.
Mauigoa lived up to the hype by showing steady improvement throughout his three-year collegiate career. He started in all three seasons, recording a 68.1 player grade in 2023, a 70.7 player grade in 2024, and an 82.6 player grade in 2025, per Pro Football Focus.
Over 16 starts in 2025, the former Miami Hurricane gave up 2 sacks and 15 pressures, earning an 87.0 PFF pass-blocking grade.
Standing at 6’5½” and 329 pounds, Mauigoa brings guard traits such as strong run blocking and power. However, he has the agility to excel in pass protection as a right tackle.
His stout frame, reminiscent of a guard, is drawing comparisons to Lions All-Pro RT Penei Sewell. In fact, Sewell is 6’4⅞”, 331 pounds, carrying nearly an identical frame.
If Mauigoa can answer mobility concerns against speedy edge rushers, he could translate to a strong starting right tackle at the next level. He may have a path to starting at guard, too, due to his strong frame.
2. Spencer Fano, OT, Utah
Second Offensive Lineman Drafted in 2026 NFL Draft: Yes 2.43x | No 1.4x
Unlike Mauigoa, not many athletic concerns surround Utah OT Spencer Fano. In fact, NFL.com awarded Fano with the top athleticism score for offensive tackles in the 2026 class (93).
He’s 6’5½” and 311 pounds, and his 4.91 40-yard dash tied for the second-quickest time among offensive linemen. Fano’s 1.72-second 10-yard split finished third for his position group, and his 7.34-second three-cone drill was first by a wide margin, with the second-best time at 7.46 seconds.
The Utah product brings versatility with starting experience at both tackle spots. After starting in 11 games at left tackle as a freshman, Fano earned second-team All-American honors as a right tackle in 2024 and elevated that to first-team All-American in 2025.
Backed by exceptional athleticism, Fano handles speed rushes well in pass pro and shines in zone-blocking schemes, which require plenty of pulling and blocking on the fly.
3. Olaivavega Ioane, IOL, Penn State
Third Offensive Lineman Drafted in 2026 NFL Draft: Yes 3.03x | No 1.14x
Penn State IOL Olaivavega Ioane is widely regarded as the top interior offensive lineman for the 2026 NFL Draft, assuming Mauigoa stays put at right tackle.
Ioane is a mauler in the run game; once he gets his hands on defenders, it’s usually curtains. He has a prototypical guard frame, standing at 6’4” and 320 pounds.
After posting a 74.9 PFF pass-blocking grade in 2024, Ioane showed improvement with an 87.0 grade last season. In fact, he did not give up 1 sack and allowed only 4 pressures.
Still, there are some concerns around his quickness for battling quick 3-technique defensive tackles in the NFL. His 74 athleticism score ranks only 12th for guards.
Ioane could struggle in a zone-blocking scheme that requires a lot of movement. However, he’s a perfect fit for a smashmouth, physical run game scheme.

4. Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia
Second Offensive Lineman Drafted in 2026 NFL Draft: Yes 3.33x | No 1.28x
While Fano’s 93 athleticism score tops offensive linemen, Georgia OT Monroe Freeling’s 91 score isn’t far behind (second for OTs).
Freeling’s 4.93 40-yard dash is tied for the fourth-quickest time, his 1.71 10-yard split ranks second, and the former Bulldog’s 9’7” broad jump is tied for third. He touts an absurd 9.99 relative athleticism score (RAS), ranking second out of offensive tackle prospects since 1987.
His 6’7” frame with 34¾” arms brings coveted length, surpassing Fano’s 32⅛” arm length. Frankly, Freeling could have the most “prototypical” tackle build over Mauigoa and Fano. This, paired with exceptional athleticism, forms an intriguing prospect.
After allowing only 2 sacks and 8 pressures in the 2025 season, Freeling has true upside to become a franchise left tackle. Our 2026 NFL Mock Draft has the Cleveland Browns selecting Freeling with the sixth pick.
5. Blake Miller, OT, Clemson
Drafted in the First Round of the 2026 NFL Draft: Yes 1.19x | No 4.16x
OT Blake Miller leaves behind a legacy at Clemson, making 54 career starts at right tackle. He displayed steady improvement with 63.8, 73.2, 76.4, and 83.5 PFF pass-blocking grades from his 2022 freshman season to 2025.
Miller, who is 6’7” and 317 pounds, passes the eye test with 34½” arms and big hands. Furthermore, he posted a 91 athleticism score (tied with Freeling). His 9.90 RAS score isn’t far behind Freeling either, ranking 17th among offensive tackle prospects since 1987 (99th percentile).
However, Miller allowed 14 pressures in 2025, likely due to some technique questions in pass protection. If the Clemson prospect can shore up his hand placement at the next level, he can develop into a long-term starting right tackle.
