Emmanuel Pregnon Scouting Report

By Charlie Campbell

Strengths:

  • Effective run blocker
  • Reliable pass protector
  • Punches hard off the ball as a run blocker
  • Good hand placement
  • Has some quickness to the second level
  • Lines up well on defenders to gain leverage
  • Can anchor against bull rushes
  • Able to sink his weight
  • Ready to compete immediately

Weaknesses:

  • Average range
  • Sometimes will lumber in space
  • Needs to improve his sustain versus second efforts
  • Pass protection could use improvement versus counters
  • Older than normal

Prospect Summary:

Pregnon started out his collegiate career at Wyoming and had two seasons as a backup there. In 2022, he became a starter and allowed two sacks in his debut as a starter. Before the 2023 season, Pregnon transferred to USC and earned a starting spot with the Trojans. He started at left guard for two seasons and did not allow a sack during the 2024 campaign. To finish his collegiate career, Pregnon played with Oregon and started 15 games with the Ducks. He was an effective run blocker while allowing one sack and five pressures during the 2025 season.

Pregnon is a well-balanced blocker that is effective in both phases. In the passing-driven NFL, Pregnon has a good skill set to take on interior rushers. He has the size, strength in his base, and ability to sink his weight to stonewall bull rushers. Pregnon shows a good ability to anchor and withstand a bull rush when blitzers have more space to attack him with speed to power. While Pregnon is not an elite interior athlete, he has the quickness and athleticism to match up against speed rushers. Pregnon could stand to improve his pass protection when he is attacked with counters, but he should turn into a steady and reliable protector as a pro.

In the ground game, Pregnon is a solid contributor. He packs a punch off the ball and looks to blast defenders off the line. He has some punch to create movement and is adept at combo blocks with good leverage to execute bump blocks with his center. Pregnon has quality hand placement and strength to engage defenders. Pregnon has average range and can execute zone blocking or power man plays.

In the 2026 NFL Draft, Pregnon looks like a potential second-round pick who could compete quickly to be a starting guard in the NFL. Check out my latest 2026 NFL Mock Draft to see where Pregnon is currently being projected.

Prospect Comparison:

Jonah Jackson. Jackson has been a very good left guard in his career when healthy. I think Pregnon could be a similar caliber blocker in the NFL.
