Big Board Rank: #13 · 1st Round Talent
Monroe Freeling has developed into one of college football's premier offensive tackles during his three-year career at Georgia, showcasing the rare combination of elite athleticism and refined technique that translates seamlessly to the NFL level. The 6'6" tackle has been a cornerstone of Georgia's offensive line since his sophomore season, protecting the blind side with exceptional footwork and natural knee bend that allows him to mirror elite pass rushers. Freeling's draft stock has steadily climbed from a potential second-round selection entering the 2025 season to a consensus top-15 pick following dominant performances against SEC competition. His ability to excel in both pass protection and run blocking schemes makes him an ideal franchise left tackle candidate.
