2026 NFL Draft Prospects: Offensive Guard

6/18/25: Campbell played well for the Longhorns against Michigan and their star-studded interior defensive line. He has been a solid and dependable guard for Texas in 2024. In 2023, Campbell became the starting right guard for Texas, and he had an impressive season. Campbell was a reliable contributor to open holes for Jonathon Brooks. Now that he has some experience, Campbell could continue to improve and is a prospect with the potential to rise.

6/18/25: Kendra is a tough guard who is a scrappy player at the point of attack. He has a strong build that makes him a plus run blocker with enough ability to be steay in pass protection.

6/18/25: Morris would have been a starter at most schools, but at Georgia he started out as a backup for Tate Ratledge in 2024. With Ratledge injured, Morris was very impressive as the replacement and was an upgrade over Ratledge. He has the skill set to start in the NFL with good size, strength, quickness, and athleticism. However, Morris struggles with his conditioning and is not a good worker. Morris has a lot of talent, but must commit to working hard to rise in 2025.

6/17/25: George started at right guard in 2024. After a rough start, George blocked well for the Gators and shows some strength in the ground game. George needs development as a pass protector for the NFL. George started at right tackle for the Gators and had a mixed 2023 season. He did well as a run blocker at times while giving up too much pass pressure in many games. George was only in his first season as a starter since transferring from Alabama. He could improve after gaining some experience, and needs to stay on top of his conditioning.

6/18/26: Spraggins played well in 2024, and was a solid blocker for the Volunteers. Spraggins has been the Volunteers’ starter at right guard over the past three seasons and has shown improvement over that time. In 2023, Spraggins was much better in pass protection only allowing two sacks all season. Spraggins will enter the NFL with a lot of experience against good competition.

6/18/25: Wright broke into the starting lineup for the Tigers. He is a big, powerful blocker at the point of attack who can generate movement. Jarquez Hunter had a good amount of success running behind Wright. Wright needs to improve his pass protection to rise in 2025.

6/18/25: Murphy started 22 games for USC over the past few seasons and was a reliable right tackle for the Trojans. It appears he will move inside to guard for Auburn, and that is a better fit for him in the NFL. Murphy could be a valuable backup at guard and tackle with the upside to grow into being a starter.

6/18/25: To open the 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 at attack.

6/18/25: 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. If he can stay healthy, he could be a riser for the 2026 NFL Draft.

6/18/25: Schrauth started left guard for the Fighting Irish and had a quality 2024 season. His run blocking is ahead of his pass protection, but Schrauth is reliable in both phases. He could stand to get stronger for the NFL.

6/18/25: El-Hadi is starting at left guard for the Wolverines in 2025 after playing right guard in 2024. He has size and strength. Showing well in pass blocking could help him rise.

6/17/25: Jagusah saw some action as a freshman in 2023 and filled in for left tackle Joe Alt at end of the season. Jagusah dealt with a preseason injury that limited during the season, but he saw action later in the year. Jagusah is projected to be a starter at guard in 2025. He is big and has upside to develop.

6/18/25: Parks was a solid starter for Clemson in 2021 and 2022, manning the right guard position. He was limited to only two games in 2023 because of injuries, but Parks rebounded in 2024 and had a quality season for the Tigers. Parks enters his senior year having already started 42 games with 2,810 career snaps. Parks could stand to get stronger for the NFL.

6/17/25: Roberts started at right guard for Alabama in 2024. Roberts has some talent with good size, but needs to get more consistent and play up to his ability. Roberts worked his way into a starting role during the course of the 2023 season. He played in 11 contests with eight starts. Roberts has good size and run-blocking potential. Roberts has the potential to be improved now that he has some experience.

6/18/25: Calhoun is a massive interior blocker that flashed some ability as a rotational backup in 2024. Calhoun needs to earn a starting job in fall camp, but he could form a nice tandem with Micah Morris. It will be interesting to see how Calhoun handles his conditioning and stamina.

6/18/25: Knapp was a solid starting guard for Notre Dame in 2024. He needs to get stronger and add some weight for the NFL.

6/18/25: Vinic was a solid starting guard at Oregon State and he transferred to Michigan State for 2025. He has some size and upside.

6/18/25: Phillips is a strong guard with upside. He missed most of the 2024 season with injury.
