Big Board Rank: #10 · Elite Prospect
Spencer Fano enters the 2026 NFL Draft as one of the most polished offensive tackle prospects in recent memory, combining elite size with surprising athleticism and advanced technique. After transferring from Oregon State following his sophomore season, Fano blossomed into a dominant force over three seasons at Utah, anchoring an offensive line that consistently ranked among the Pac-12's best in pass protection. His combination of natural leverage, powerful hands, and football IQ makes him a rare day-one starter capable of protecting a franchise quarterback's blind side immediately. While questions remain about his performance against elite edge rushers in limited big-game situations, his consistency and technical refinement have NFL scouts projecting him as a potential decade-long starter.
