The 2025 NFL Draft is over and teams are getting comfortable with their new draft picks. The next class of players is getting prepared now for another year of college football. Each position will be analyzed in the coming days. Here is the 2026 NFL Draft prospect watchlist: Interior Offensive Linemen.
Brailsford was a three-star recruit in the class of 2022 who signed with Washington out of Arizona. He redshirted in his first season then started for a the Huskies in 2023 and was named a Freshman All-American. His play helped the team make the National Championhip that season. Following the season, he transferred to Alabama. In 2024, he was named Second Team All-American for the Crimson Tide. He led the team to a nine-win season.
At 6-foot-2 and 290 pounds, Brailsford is small for a center, but that also comes with nice natural leverage. He’s a good athlete with solid flexibility. Brailsford is able to get to the second well and blocks well in space. He mirrors pass rushers well. Brailsford lacks length and strength and will have to play around that at the next level.
As a three-star recruit in the state of Texas, Reed-Adams signed with Kansas in the class of 2020. He played 31 games with 15 starts during his time with the Jayhawks. In 2023, he started 11 games and helped Kansas win nine games that season. He transferred to Texas A&M for 2024 and started at right guard. His play helped the Aggies win eight games.
Reed-Adams has great play strength and is great in a phone booth. He moves defenders out of the way in the run game. Reed-Adams has a strong anchor against pass rushers and heavy hands. He struggles changing directions, which limits his ability to mirror pass rushers. If he can stay patient and make sure he doesn’t lunge, he can have a good 2026 season.
Roberts was a three-star recruit in the class of 2021, who signed with Alabama out of Texas. He redshirted in 2021 then played sparingly in 2022. For the 2023 season, he started most games and helped the team win 12 games. In 2024, he returned to the starting lineup and led the team to nine wins.
He has shown proficiency as a run blocker, clearing big holes for his running backs. Roberts finishes blocks well, playing with a good demeanor, and also sees pressure pretty clearly. He will struggle making blocks on the second level and to mirror pass rushers in pass protection.
Slaughter was a three-star recruit in the class of 2021, who stayed in his home state to play for Florida. He redshirted in 2021, then played as a reserve in 2022. Slaughter started eight games in 2023, helping the Gators win eight games. He was a First Team All-American in 2024 and led the team to an eight-win season.
He has shown good pass protection with solid anchor strength. Slaughter also sees the field well and is able to pick up blitzers. He is a good athlete who can make blocks on the second level and mirror apass rushers. His pad level gets too high and he can work on finishing blocks this season. If he can do that, stay patient and fill out his frame a little more, Slaughter can be the first interior offensive lineman selected in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Chase Bisontis, Texas A&M Aggies- Bisontis is a big guard at 6-foot-6 and 330 pounds and has a chance to be part of a good unit at Texas A&M this season.
DJ Campbell, Texas Longhorns- Campbell has garnered plenty of experience for the Longhorns, as he has started the last two seasons.
Logan Jones, Iowa Hawkeyes- Jones could have entered the 2025 NFL Draft, but decided to return to Iowa, where he will be one of the best centers in the country.
Emmanuel Pregnon, Oregon Ducks- Pregnon started his career at Wyoming then transferred to USC. Now he is at Oregon, where he’ll help fill in on an offensive line that lost a lot of talent to the NFL.
