Scouting Report: 2026 OT Prospects
1. Francis Mauigoa — Miami (FL)
Prospect Summary: Mauigoa consistently ranks at the top of OT boards due to his rare blend of length, anchor strength, and smooth pass-protection mobility. He has flashed dominant run-blocking power and the physical upside teams seek in a franchise left tackle.
Strengths: Balanced footwork; powerful anchor against speed-to-power rushers; overwhelming run-game presence.
Concerns: Still refining consistency in passive sets; some teams debate scheme-specific ceiling.
Outlook: OT1 and likely Top-10 overall selection.
2. Spencer Fano — Utah
Prospect Summary: An ascending prospect with elite production and strong athletic traits, Fano has been one of college football’s most dominant run blockers while maintaining steady pass-protection grades.
Strengths: Excellent leverage and drive power; clean pass sets; advanced football IQ.
Concerns: Length and outside anchor can be stressed by elite speed-to-power edge rushers.
Outlook: High-floor, high-ceiling early first-round lock.
3. Kadyn Proctor — Alabama
Prospect Summary: A massive offensive tackle with rare raw power, Proctor offers elite size and strength but continues to refine lateral movement and technical consistency.
Strengths: Overwhelming frame and play strength; dependable run blocker; bull-rush neutralizer.
Concerns: Lateral quickness and quick-set efficiency remain developmental.
Outlook: Day-one starter with Pro Bowl upside.
4. Caleb Lomu — Utah (49ers Pick #27)
Prospect Summary: Lomu combines size, length, and athleticism in a way that fits modern NFL offensive schemes. His rise through draft boards reflects consistent tape growth and positional versatility.
Strengths: Long arms and fluid movement; aggressive run blocker; strong anchor once engaged.
Concerns: Hand placement and recovery footwork will require refinement early in his NFL career.
Outlook: Immediate contributor with long-term starter potential.
5. Monroe Freeling — Georgia
Prospect Summary: Freeling has emerged as one of the highest-upside tackles in the class thanks to elite size, movement skills, and SEC-tested tape. NFL evaluators value his ceiling as a future starting left tackle.
Strengths: Outstanding length and athleticism; smooth pass-protection slides; strong developmental upside.
Concerns: Still developing play strength and consistency versus power rushers.
Outlook: Late Round 1 to early Day 2 talent with rising stock post-Super Bowl.
6. Gennings Dunker — Iowa
Prospect Summary: Dunker is a technically sound, reliable tackle whose game is built on fundamentals and consistency rather than raw athletic traits.
Strengths: Strong punch timing; disciplined footwork; dependable anchor.
Concerns: Limited athletic ceiling compared to higher-ranked tackles.
Outlook: High-floor Day 2 starter candidate.
7. Caleb Tiernan — Northwestern
Prospect Summary: Tiernan offers rare athletic ability with positional versatility, making him an intriguing developmental tackle or swing option.
Strengths: Agile feet; strong spatial awareness; effective reach blocking.
Concerns: Power consistency against elite competition.
Outlook: Fringe Day 2 / early Day 3 prospect.
8. Austin Siereveld — Ohio State
Prospect Summary: A large-framed, battle-tested tackle with experience against elite competition, Siereveld projects best as a depth option with growth potential.
Strengths: Strong hands; functional anchor; Power Five experience.
Concerns: Foot speed limits immediate starting viability.
Outlook: Developmental depth piece with upside.
9–12. Additional OT Prospects (Developmental to Sleeper)
Isaiah World (Oregon), Austin Barber (Florida), Drew Shelton (Penn State), and Carter Smith (Indiana) round out the class. Each brings NFL-caliber size with varying degrees of athletic upside and technical refinement needs, making them developmental targets on Day 3.
Final Thoughts: Why OT Was a 49ers Priority
The 49ers’ selection of Caleb Lomu at #27 reflects a continued commitment to building through the trenches. With premium offensive tackles increasingly difficult to acquire, San Francisco targeted a high-upside lineman who fits its physical, run-first identity. The 2026 OT class offers top-end talent and valuable depth, and the 49ers positioned themselves to benefit from both.
