Donovan Jackson, G, Ohio State
Height: 6-4. Weight: 320.
Projected 40 Time: 5.50.
Projected Round (2025): 1-2.

7/18/23: If Jackson stays healthy and returns to Ohio State for 2024, he will end up being a multi-year starter with a ton of experience. Jackson had an excellent 2022 season for the Buckeyes blasting open running lanes and being steady in pass protection. He looks like a potential starter in the NFL.

Tyler Booker*, G/OT, Alabama
Height: 6-5. Weight: 335.
Projected 40 Time: 5.40.
Projected Round (2025): 1-3.

7/18/23: Booker rotated into the game during his freshman season with Alabama. Booker has versatile size and he could be a riser in 2023 and 2024.

Tate Ratledge, G, Georgia
Height: 6-6. Weight: 315.
Projected 40 Time: 5.40.
Projected Round (2025): 2-3.

7/18/23: Ratledge was a rock solid blocker for Georgia in the 2022 season. He locked down the right guard position after being injured in 2021. Ratledge has big size and legit play strength. It will bet interesting to see if Ratledge is capable of moving to tackle.

Kelvin Banks, G/OT, Texas
Height: 6-4. Weight: 320.
Projected 40 Time: 5.40.
Projected Round (2025): 2-3.

7/18/23: Banks had an impressive debut as a freshman starting at left tackle for the Longhorns. He was a steady run blocker and showed the potential to be a pass protector. With a quality skill set, Banks has upside and could be a riser for his draft class. Banks is candidate to move inside to guard as well.

Marcus Tate, G/OT, Clemson
Height: 6-5. Weight: 325.
Projected 40 Time: 5.20.
Projected Round (2025): 3-4.

7/18/23: Tate was having a solid 2022 season before suffering a season-ending injury in Clemson’s mid-November game against Miami. Tate showed improvement and upside in his second season as a starter. If he can continue to build on his consistency, he could be a riser for his draft class.
