Height: 6-3. Weight: 300.
Projected 40 Time: 5.05.
Projected Round (2027): 2-3.
7/1/25: Lew broke into the starting lineup during his freshman season and was an impressive blocker for the Tigers. In 2024, Lew was even better and is a well-balanced blocker. He is strong and agile as a run blocker while being very reliable in pass protection. Lew looks like a potential long-term starter for the NFL.

Height: 6-2. Weight: 290.
Projected 40 Time: 5.20.
Projected Round (2027): 2-4.
7/1/25: Brailsford started at center for Alabama in 2024. He played well for the Crimson Tide. Brailsford is a good college player but undersized for the NFL. Brailsford was the starting center for the Washington Huskies in 2023 and had a solid season as a pass blocker protecting Michael Penix Jr. While he was the pivot man for Washington, Brailsford also had two starts at guard in 2023. After the season, Brailsford followed his coaching staff with a transfer to Alabama. Brailsford needs to gain weight and strength for the NFL.

Height: 6-5. Weight: 300.
Projected 40 Time: 5.35.
Projected Round (2027): 3-5.
7/1/25: Slaughter had a rough start to the year, but played better as the season progressed and ended on a strong note. Slaughter has upside and got better as he gained experience. Slaughter was wise to return to Florida for 2025. He has quality size, strength, and athleticism. Slaughter took over as the starter for the Gators in 2023 and had a quality year. He has good size and upside. Slaughter’s run blocking was ahead of his pass protection, but he could improve as he gains experience.

Height: 6-4. Weight: 309.
Projected 40 Time: 5.30.
Projected Round (2027): 3-5.
7/1/25: 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 had a solid debut. He could be a riser as he has good size and strength.

Height: 6-5. Weight: 330.
Projected 40 Time: 5.30.
Projected Round (2027): 3-5.
7/1/25: 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.
