Scouting Report

Big Board Rank: #47 · Day 2 Value

Chase Bisontis emerged as one of the SEC's most consistent interior linemen over his three-year career at Texas A&M, developing from a raw but athletic recruit into a technically sound prospect with starting potential. The Michigan native brings an ideal blend of size, mobility, and football intelligence that allowed him to anchor the Aggies' offensive line during their resurgent 2025 campaign. His ability to play both guard positions and center with equal effectiveness makes him an attractive Day 2 target for teams seeking versatile depth or a plug-and-play starter. While his pass protection can be inconsistent against elite pass rushers, his dominant run blocking and high football IQ project well to the next level.

Strengths

+Exceptional run blocking technique with consistent leverage and hand placement, regularly creating running lanes and moving defenders off the line of scrimmage.

+High football IQ demonstrated through excellent pre-snap recognition and communication, often serving as the line's signal caller even when not playing center.

+Versatility to play all three interior positions at a high level, with over 1,200 snaps of experience at both guard spots and center during his college career.

+Strong anchor in pass protection with natural knee bend and wide base that makes him difficult to bull rush through the pocket.

+Impressive mobility for his size allows him to pull effectively on outside zone concepts and reach second-level defenders in space.

+Competitive demeanor and physicality shine through in his finish, consistently playing through the whistle and looking to pancake defenders.

+Excellent hand strength and grip allow him to latch onto defenders and control them throughout the duration of blocks.

+Shows good recovery ability when beaten initially, using his length and hand technique to re-establish position and salvage blocks.

+Strong fundamentals in combo blocks and working to the second level, displaying good timing and communication with adjacent linemen.

+Consistent availability and durability throughout his college career, missing only two games due to a minor ankle injury as a sophomore.

+Natural leadership qualities and mature approach to the game, serving as a mentor to younger players and earning team captaincy as a senior.

Weaknesses

-Pass protection consistency issues against speed rushers, sometimes getting caught leaning and vulnerable to inside moves when facing quicker defensive linemen.

-Limited lateral mobility can be exposed by stunts and twists, occasionally getting confused on pickup assignments in complex pressure packages.

-Struggles at times with proper hand placement against longer-armed defenders, leading to holding penalties and lost leverage situations.

-Can be overpowered by elite interior pass rushers when his anchor fails, lacking the pure functional strength of top-tier prospects.

-Footwork in pass protection needs refinement, particularly his kick-slide technique which can leave him unbalanced against counter moves.

-Occasional mental lapses in gap scheme runs where he loses track of his assignment, leading to missed blocks and negative plays.

-Length limitations at 33 1/4 inches can be problematic against longer defensive linemen who can keep him at bay and win with reach.

-Recovery speed when beaten off the snap needs improvement, as he can struggle to regain proper positioning once a defender gains the advantage.
