Lauck started at left tackle for the Hawkeyes in 2025 and had an excellent season. He was a tough run blocker and reliable in pass protection. The NFL advance scouts gave him a good grade heading into the 2026 season. It was Lauck’s first-year as a starter, so he could be even better in 2026 after getting a year of experience.

9/16/26: The Washington line has been inconsistent in 2026. Azzopardi blocked well as the Huskies' right tackle during the 2025 season. He is a big, long blocker on the edge.

9/16/26: Williams has been solid in 2026 for SMU, including their win against Florida State. Williams has started at left tackle and right tackle over the past few seasons, and he has been a steady blocker for the Mustangs.

With his size and length, Baer could be a right tackle candidate for the NFL. He could be a sleeper with the potential to rise.

<> 9/16/26: Pritchett is starting at left tackle for Nebraska this season. At Alabama, Pritchett was a decent run blocker at the point of attack with developing pass protection skills. Pritchett was the Crimson Tide’s starting right tackle and improved as he gained experience. He transferred to Nebraska for the 2025 season. With the Cornhuskers, Pritchett did not dominate but was a solid left tackle. His run blocking is ahead of his pass protection Pritchett has talent, but did not play up to his ability at Alabama, and he should have been more dominant than he was. Pritchett has maturity issues, and that could be a factor in his play. Perhaps he will mature and develop in 2026.

9/16/26: Sampson has been solid for the Red Raiders at left tackle to start the 2026 season. Sampson is a big tackle who might fit best on the right side in the NFL.

He has an early-round skill set, but he did not play up to it with Auburn in 2025 as Chaplin was abused in pass protection. For 2026, Chaplin transferred to Florida State.

9/16/26: Perry has had a decent start at left tackle for the Terps. Perry had a strong debut for Maryland in 2025, starting all 12 games at left tackle.
