1. Georgia image Drew Bobo*, C, Georgia
Height: 6-5. Weight: 305.
Projected 40 Time: 5.43.
Projected Round (2027): 2-3.

Previous Seasons
  • ’26 – Sam Hecht, Kansas State
  • ’25 – Grey Zabel, North Dakota State
    -Drafted, no. 18 Seahawks
  • ’24 – Jackson Powers-Johnson, Oregon
    -Drafted, no. 44 Raiders

2/13/26: Bobo was having an excellent 2025 season before going out with an injury. Georgia really missed him when he was out. Bobo has good size and strength. He could be a solid guard or center for the NFL.



2. Oregon image Iapani Laloulu, G/C, Oregon
Height: 6-2. Weight: 325.
Projected 40 Time: 5.35.
Projected Round (2027): 2-4.

Previous Seasons
  • ’26 – Jake Slaughter, Florida
  • ’25 – Seth McLaughlin, Ohio State
  • ’24 – Graham Barton, Duke
    -Drafted, no. 26 Buccaneers

2/13/26: Laloulu blocked well for the Ducks in 2025 and is a well-balanced blocker at the point of attack. To open the 2024 season, Laloulu was starting at guard for a few games before starting the final 12 at center. Laloulu could lack a little height, but he is a strong and thick blocker at the point of attack.



3. Notre Dame image Ashton Craig*, G/C, Notre Dame
Height: 6-5. Weight: 312.
Projected 40 Time: 5.33.
Projected Round (2027): 3-5.

Previous Seasons
  • ’26 – Connor Lew, Auburn
  • ’25 – Jared Wilson, Georgia
    -Drafted, no. 95 Patriots
  • ’24 – Zach Frazier, West Virginia
    -Drafted, no. 51 Steelers

2/13/26: Craig was the starting center for the Irish in 2024 before suffering an injury and going out for the season. Craig has good size and strength at the point of attack. His run blocking is ahead of his pass protection, but he has contributed in both phases. Craig was a good run blocker at the point of attack in 2025, but he suffered a season-ending knee injury on October 11th versus N.C. State.



4. Michigan image Greg Crippen, C, Michigan
Height: 6-4. Weight: 309.
Projected 40 Time: 5.30.
Projected Round (2027): 3-5.

Previous Seasons
  • ’26 – Logan Jones, Iowa
  • ’25 – Jonah Monheim, USC
    -Drafted, no. 221 Jaguars
  • ’24 – Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, Georgia

2/13/26: Crippen was a rotational player during Michigan’s championship run, but he would have been a starter at most schools. Crippen took over as the full-time starter in 2024 and has been a solid blocker.



5. Kansas image Bryce Foster, C, Kansas
Height: 6-5. Weight: 330.
Projected 40 Time: 5.30.
Projected Round (2027): 3-5.

Previous Seasons
  • ’26 – Parker Brailsford, Alabama
  • ’25 – Willie Lampkin, North Carolina
  • ’24 – Beaux Limmer, Arkansas
    -Drafted, no. 217 Rams

2/13/26: After being a starter with Texas A&M, Foster transferred to Kansas and started at center. Foster broke into the starting lineup in 2021 and had a respectable debut for the Aggies. In 2022, he played four games before a season-ending injury. As a redshirt sophomore, Foster returned to the starting center spot and was a reliable blocker for the Aggies. Foster is a big center with upside. It will be interesting to see if he can handle speed rushers and heavy nose tackles in one-on-one pass blocking situations.
