2025 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Tyler Booker

Prospect Summary:

Over the past three seasons, Booker has been one of college football’s most consistent and productive offensive linemen. In that span, Booker became a team captain and dominated at the point of attack during the 2024 season. Booker showed plug-and-play starting potential for the NFL.

As a run blocker, Booker has heavy hands with shear power at the point of attack to generate movement. Booker can latch onto defensive tackles and use his strength to manipulate them out of their gap. Finding nasty bullies up front is getting more difficult as the uptempo and spread offense has changed the game, and Booker is a rare college blocker who enters the NFL with a mean streak to set a physical tone at the point of attack. Booker blocks through the whistle, pushes defenders around, buries them into the ground, and finishes them off with violence. Booker has developed strength to push defenders out of their gap and open holes in the ground game. Booker is going to be a load as a run blocker and a real asset in short-yardage or goal-line situations, as his team should have a lot of success running behind him.As a pro, Booker should be a real asset as a run blocker.

In pass protection, Booker has a strong anchor and can stand up bull rushers with ease. Booker uses his strong hands and big mass to sustain blocks well. His power helps him to recover by jarring defenders off their rush allowing Booker to regroup and tie them up. Fast interior defensive tackles or defensive ends that move inside in passing situations could give Booker problems early in his NFL career, but over time he should be a steady pass protector.

For the NFL, Booker looks like a very safe pick to turn into a good starter. He could be a pro bowl guard early in his career and play a long-time if he says healthy.
