Ranking Top 2024 Offensive Tackle Prospects
15. Roger Rosengarten, Washington 
Big Board Rank: 108
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 308
Roger Rosengarten has the size and feet to be a solid pass protector, but he will need to improve his play strength if he wants to be a starting-level player.
Rosengarten is a good athlete with sufficient upper-body strength but could improve his lower-body strength. His height and arm length should allow him to stay on the outside. His foot quickness and reactive athleticism are NFL-caliber, and he looks fluid in the open field, although he can have body control issues when he is out over his feet. He usually plays with an even demeanor but flashes a mean streak at times.
Rosengarten projects as an NFL swing tackle. Some teams may think he best fits as a left tackle due to his better pass-blocking ability, but his experience and slight body control issues could make him a more immediate fit on the right side. He must improve his play strength to be an NFL starter.

14. Javon Foster, Missouri 
Big Board Rank: 107
Height: 6-foot-6
Weight: 313
Javon Foster is a long offensive tackle with the upper-body strength and awareness to make an impact in the run game, but he will need to improve his hand timing, footwork and balance to make a consistent contribution in the NFL. He was a three-year starter at left tackle for Missouri.
Foster combines good size and length with good upper-body strength but lacks some overall strength and muscle in his lower half. He can flash good athleticism and has sufficient overall toughness and competitiveness.
Foster projects as a swing tackle who can fit in a zone or gap scheme. A zone scheme will allow him to use his athleticism in space and a gap/duo scheme will allow him to work on down blocks and heavy on doubles to work to the second level. He figures to fit best at right tackle where he can show off his run-blocking power. He has the athleticism to fill in at left tackle, but he’ll need to improve his foot quickness.

No. 13 Travis Glover, Georgia State 
Big Board Rank: 106
Height: 6-foot-6
Weight: 338
Travis Glover has the physical tools and strength teams covet on the outside, and he should provide crucial depth to an NFL team while he improves his initial punch and reactive footwork. He was the starting left tackle for Georgia State’s balanced, RPO-heavy offense.
Glover has a big, filled-out frame with long arms to stay on the outside. He has immense strength in his upper and lower body. His change-of-direction ability is underwhelming because he lacks the lateral agility to explode his weight through his hips in the short area. He plays aggressively and matches the physicality of the opponent.
Glover projects as a backup swing tackle who fits best in a power-running scheme. He has the raw athletic ability to play outside, although his current technique slightly masks this athleticism. Playing at a slightly lower weight could help, and his long arms and overall skill set should keep him outside.
He has scheme versatility because of his awareness to play in a zone scheme, although improving his body control when working to the second level is important.

No. 12 Jordan Morgan, Arizona 
Big Board Rank: 105
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 311
Jordan Morgan was the left tackle in Arizona’s spread offense, which used pro-style looks and ran a majority of zone schemes with some gap mixed in.
Morgan is a large lineman with good size and strength. He also has the flexibility to sit in his stance and move around well for his size. While he plays tough and can overpower people, it’s mainly due to his strength, as he typically doesn’t impose his will on anyone by finishing past the whistle.
Morgan projects best as a backup right tackle in a zone scheme. He has the versatility to also back up at left tackle and bump into guard. His strength and power should allow him to control a fair amount of the power that comes his way on the right side.
However, his slow change-of-direction skills will make it tough for him to neutralize most of the counter moves he will see in the NFL. Additionally, his hand use needs a massive upgrade, but that can be coached. When he does it right, he’s got plenty of potential to become a starting-caliber player.

11. Walter Rouse, Oklahoma 
Big Board Rank: 70
Height: 6-foot-6
Weight: 313
Walter Rouse is a big, strong edge blocker who uses power in the run game and a heavy anchor in the passing game to be successful, but he’ll need to improve his footwork and body control to hit his ceiling as a high-end starter.
Rouse has tremendous length, a sturdy build and the requisite athleticism to back it up. His motor runs high throughout the game, and he never switches off mentally, which led to some phenomenal reps in late-game situations. The final play to beat Texas, in which he blocked two defenders, is a testament to his competitiveness and awareness in high-stress situations.
Rouse projects as a starting right tackle who can be a backup left tackle early in his career. While he has almost exclusively played left tackle, Rouse’s athleticism, size and mentality fit better on the right side early on.

10. Kiran Amegadjie, Yale 
Big Board Rank: 57
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 323
Kiran Amegadjie is a raw yet strong offensive lineman who possesses the hand use and movement skills to be a starting left tackle. However, he needs some technique work, more reps and a clean injury rehab to do so.
Amegadjie is a big, strong lineman who is a good athlete and moves very well for his size. However, he lacks some flexibility and tends to hunch over in his stance. He has some mauling tendencies and finishes defenders into the ground, but he’s not necessarily one to consistently play through the echo of the whistle. However, no matter how long the play lasts, he competes.
Amegadjie projects as a starting NFL left tackle who has some backup ability at right tackle and guard, with starting-level upside. He’s scheme-versatile, possessing the movement skills to work in the zone game, and he can be used as a puller or down blocker in gap schemes.

9. Patrick Paul, Houston 
Big Board Rank: 45
Height: 6-foot-8
Weight: 331
Patrick Paul is a large tackle with plenty of length, athleticism and awareness to be a good NFL pass protector, but he needs to clean up his technique and hand usage to become a high-end starter.
Paul has a massive, tall frame and plays with surprising agility and quickness for a larger tackle. While he plays tough and competes, he’s not an over-the-top finisher through the whistle.
Paul has the potential to be a starting NFL right tackle and can also start at left tackle, but he needs some work first. His skill set suggests he’ll be best on the left side, but he lacks the reactive athleticism needed to consistently thwart elite edges.
While he needs work in the run game, his power and anchor ability are strong on the right side while some of his other traits develop.

8. Blake Fisher, Notre Dame 
Big Board Rank: 44
Height: 6-foot-6
Weight: 310
Blake Fisher is a well-built right tackle who plays with technical footwork, awareness, and grip strength, which can make him a low-end starter. However, he will need to round out his run blocking to reach his full potential. He was the starting right tackle in Notre Dame’s pro-style offense.
Fisher is a large, well-proportioned athlete with good grip strength and quick lateral mobility. He is a constant competitor who will look for work along the line, but he lacks a mean streak to finish off many of his blocks.
Fisher projects as a low-end starter at right tackle only in a balanced rushing attack. He must develop his skill set against speed rushers and develop control and aggression in the run game.

7. Kingsley Suamataia 
Big Board Rank: 37
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 326
Kingsley Suamataia has the coveted combination of youth, size, power and athletic ability to develop into a good NFL tackle. Still, his inexperience shows in his lack of awareness and technique, making it difficult to trust him in pass protection.
Suamataia has good size, length and raw strength, with intriguing athletic upside. However, he is raw, shows some stiffness and tends to play high.
He is big and strong enough to get away with it and swallow up smaller defenders. Suamataia has strong hands when he can land them, but he struggles with hand placement as defenders consistently win inside hand position against him.
Suamataia projects best to start his career at right tackle, where he can play a larger role in the run game and be somewhat protected as he develops as a pass protector. He shows the feet to potentially play on the left side down the road. He fits as a tackle in a gap- or zone-based scheme.

6. Amarius Mims, Georgia 
Big Board Rank: 31
Height: 6-foot-8
Weight: 340
Amarius Mims is a mammoth right tackle prospect with a build that looks like it was created in a lab. He can unlock his high ceiling by improving his movement skills and football intelligence.
Mims is an exceptionally strong prospect who has a stellar build for an offensive tackle with long arms, massive hands and very high mass, which is evenly distributed throughout his frame. He is a tough player who has a bit of a mean streak but is not a player you will find consistently making blocks far down the field.
Mims has a high NFL ceiling. As is, he is a starting-caliber right tackle prospect who does not have the versatility to play on the left side. However, he could develop into a perennial Pro-Bowl type player.
While he played mostly in a zone-run scheme at Georgia, Mims has scheme versatility. He would be an even better fit in an offense that also features a good amount of gap runs.

5. Tyler Guyton, Oklahoma
Big Board Rank: 26
Height: 6-foot-8
Weight: 322
Tyler Guyton has the physical profile and tools to anchor an offensive line for years. Still, he will need to work on his body composition, hand fighting and body control in space to unlock his incredible potential.
Guyton is built like a house, with size, length, and mass throughout. He has added weight throughout his college career but looked less explosive in 2023 due to the added weight. He has immense strength, particularly in the lower half, and when playing at a lower weight in 2022, had the reactive athleticism to match NFL athletes.
Guyton projects as a starting right tackle but could work as a left tackle with some refinement. His blend of size, strength and athleticism should allow him to see the field early, but his true potential may take a little longer to cultivate.

4. Taliese Fuaga, Oregon State 
Big Board Rank: 12
Height: 6-foot-6
Weight: 324
Taliese Fuaga is a heavy-handed mauler on the right side of the line who will slot in as a starter at the next level. But with a little refinement of his pad level and hip fluidity in pass pro, he can reach his full potential.
Fuaga is a physical player who shows power and smooth athleticism in space. He is a mauler along the line and will constantly look for someone to hit and plant them on the ground.
Fuaga projects as a starting right tackle in a zone-heavy running offense where he can use his power and strength to move defenders and open up run lanes. He will need a little bit more development and refinement in his hips to allow for a better change of direction in his pass sets.

3. Olumuyiwa Fashanu, Penn State 
Big Board Rank: 9
Height: 6-foot-6
Weight: 312
Olumuyiwa Fashanu will fit any scheme at the next level. He has ideal physical and athletic attributes, steady footwork, crafty hand fighting and effortless strength that allows him to eliminate any threat he gets his hands on. These traits will lead to him providing security in the pass game and movement in the run game.
He is the physical ideal for modern NFL LTs with the height, weight, length and athleticism all teams seek. Fashanu plays with a steady motor, a physical demeanor and the aggression to bury defenders after he has taken them for a ride.
At the next level, Fashanu projects as a reliable starter at either OT position on Day 1, though fitting best on the left side. He is a well-rounded player who fits the bill in every way and should carve out a long career. His athleticism and strength suggest he should only improve as he refines his game.

2. JC Latham, Alabama 
Big Board Rank: 6
Height: 6-foot-6
Weight: 342
JC Latham’s massive frame, excellent play strength and fluid athleticism make him a high-level, Day 1 starter. If he can hone his aggressiveness and play more under control, he can be an elite-level player.
Latham lined up at right tackle in the run-heavy Crimson Tide offense. Alabama varied its run game with zone, duo and pin-and-pull concepts and married it with a vertical passing game.
Latham has a wide chest and long arms but is relatively light on his feet for his size. He plays with an edge and nastiness, delivering crushing blows on contact to try to impose his will on defenders.
Latham projects to be a high-level starting right tackle with position flex to the interior. He is a young and budding prospect with good athleticism and excellent play strength in a massive body frame.
His pass protection ability will allow him to play at tackle. His physical play style in the run game should keep him on the right side of the line. If he were to move inside and play guard, he would be strong enough to thrive against bigger interior defenders.

1. Joe Alt, Notre Dame
Big Board Rank: 3
Height: 6-foot-9
Weight: 321
Joe Alt is an athletic wall of a left tackle who has all the goods teams look for in a franchise cornerstone. Outside of increasing his hip flexibility and polishing his hand usage, he leaves little to be desired as far as development at the next level. Alt has NFL bloodlines as his father, John, was a first-round pick for the Chiefs in 1984 and was selected to two Pro Bowls during his 12-year career.
Alt possesses the natural measurables, strength and athleticism coveted by NFL teams. He is capable of winning reps through pure physical superiority and is technically sound to boot. He also has high levels of toughness and conditioning that will transfer seamlessly to the next level.
Alt is a scheme-fluent left tackle prospect with the makings of a franchise left tackle who will slot in as a Day 1 starter and play at an All-Pro level after his rookie season. He is a massive and athletic lineman who excels in the run-and-pass games.
