2025 Senior Bowl Preview: Offensive Line

The 2025 Senior Bowl process is starting to get underway. Who are the big boys up front to watch for in Mobile this year? How many offensive tackles go in the first round and beyond? Is there a consensus number one center like in years past? Teams and fans will get their answers next week as the trench monsters get their turn in the Senior Bowl OL preview.
In case you missed the previous positional previews for the Senior Bowl, they are linked below:
American
Offensive Tackle
1. Logan Brown | Kansas
2. Emery Jones | LSU
3. Armand Memebou | Missouri
4. Jack Nelson | Wisconsin
5. Jonah Savaiinea | Arizona
6. Carson Vinson | Alabama A&M
Top Prospects
Logan Brown
Brown has the measurables and athletic traits to become a top-level tackle prospect in Mobile. PFF graded him as the 25th-best tackle with an overall score of 82.2. He’ll be going up against a primetime cadre of pass rushers, so it’s an opportunity for him to shine in Mobile. He does have a few reps at left tackle but played right tackle primarily in college. Will the coaches flip-flop him around in practice next week to see what he’s got? He can go in the third or fourth round if he does well. He is the second lineman off the 2023 surprise Kansas team to make it to the Senior Bowl, following Dominick Puni last season. Can this Jayhawk star Senior Bowl OL embrace the opportunity and beat the odds in this preview?
Armand Memebou
There could be an argument that Membou could be the best tackle in the SEC. He played exclusively on the right side for his entire Missouri career. The former Tigers right tackle earned lofty praise from PFF, ranking as the fifth-best tackle with an overall score of. 90.4. With a good week in Mobile, he could vault himself into the first round but will likely settle into Day 2. He joins former teammate Javon Foster as the second consecutive Missouri Tiger tackle at the Senior Bowl.
Sleepers
Jonah Savaiinea
Savaiinea has experience at both tackle spots and guard reps, so his versatility should shine through in Mobile. He’s the second consecutive tackle prospect to make his way to the Senior Bowl after Jordan Morgan last year. Morgan parlayed his Mobile experience into a first-round selection. Can Savaiinea do the same? He’ll likely be a Day 2 selection if all goes well. He’s a great athlete and has the temperament to be a road grading blocker. It will be interesting to see where teams view him, inside or outside.
Carson Vinson
Vinson is the first OL from Alabama A&M to attend the Senior Bowl since 2001 and the first HBCU OL since Tytus Howard in 2019. Monitoring his progress against a step up in competition will be interesting. While he likely won’t be drafted as high as Howard, there’s still a career in the NFL if he has a good week.
Guard
1. Garrett Dellinger | LSU
2. Miles Frazier | LSU
3. Jackson Slater | Sacramento State
4. Clay Webb | Jacksonville State
The two FCS players are the names to watch for in terms of iOL play. Slater is the first offensive lineman in Hornets history to participate since 1986. He made the FCS All-American First Team in 2024. Webb was highly ranked by PFF, scoring an 82.0 offensive grade. If both prospects can prove that they belong on this level, they can get drafted early to the middle of Day 3.
Center
1. Jared Wilson | Georgia
Wilson is the best true center in the class, bar none. He’s Georgia’s first center representative in Mobile since Ben Jones in 2012. PFF gave him a pass-blocking grade of 84.9, which was 12th-best in the country. He could go as high as the third round if he has a good week. Can he cement himself as the top Senior Bowl OL after this preview?
National
Offensive Tackle
1. Anthony Belton | NC State
2. Josh Conerly, Jr | Oregon
3. Ajani Cornelius | Oregon
4. Aireontae Ersery | Minnesota
5. Marcus Mbow | Purdue
6. Wyatt Milum | West Virginia
7. Jalen Rivers | Miami
8. Ozzy Trapilo | Boston College
9. Jalen Travis | Iowa State
10. Grey Zabel | North Dakota State
Top Prospects
Josh Conerly, Jr
Conerly was a former five-star recruit who came into his own as a sophomore in 2023. He declared for the draft as a true junior with all the makings of an OT1. The former Ducks left tackle is a great athlete and should test well during the Combine. His game translates for events like the Senior Bowl. Can he be the next great tackle from Oregon, like Penei Sewell? If he has a great week, as expected, he will be in contention for being the first tackle off the board in April. He can become the top Senior Bowl OL to be drafted in this preview.
Aireontae Ersery
The Minnesota OT is one of the best tackles in the class and should be a first-round selection when the process is over. He’s the second offensive tackle to participate in the Senior Bowl after the Ravens lineman Daniel Faalele. Ersery has the total physical tools with height/weight/length to stand out during the week and beyond. He initially started his career on the right side before committing full-time to left tackle for the last three seasons. According to PFF, he’s credited for allowing five sacks as a permanent starter.
Grey Zabel
Oh, is there another good NDSU offensive lineman in Mobile? Rinse and repeat. Zabel joins a stable of former Bison standouts like Cody Mauch, Dillon Radunz, and Billy Turner. Interestingly, Titans assistant coach Scott Fuchs is coaching the National team’s offensive line, the same team that employs Radunz. Zabel’s arm length is concerning (32 1/4) enough to merit some consideration for moving inside to guard. He does have experience at both tackle spots, so his versatility will help his cause. Zabel should maintain a Day 2 selection if he can have a solid week.
Big Names
Marcus Mbow
Mbow presents an intriguing package of athleticism and size for teams on Day 3. He needs a good week to move up on the board and was Purdue’s best lineman. The former Boilermakers star has solid tools, including hand strength and anchor. If he can show off during the week, it’s entirely possible that he can go on Day 2. He’s the first Boilermaker OL to feature in Mobile since Nick Hardwick in 2004.
Wyatt Milum
The highly ranked Milum has earned top-tier praise from the good folks at PFF, earning a 91.1 offensive grade. He also graded out as the top-ranked pass-blocker with a 92.6 and is just as dominant in the run game (89.7). Milum is one of the best tackle prospects in the game and has the athleticism, versatility, and technique to become a solid tackle. His length is concerning as the Senior Bowl verified his arms to be 32″, so a switch to guard may be in his future. If he can show that he can hang against longer and faster pass rushers, he can stick at OT. The former Mountaineers standout has the potential to be an early Day 2 selection.
Sleepers
Ajani Cornelius
The other half of Oregon’s excellent tackle bookend was a transfer from Rhode Island. Cornelius got on the radar in 2022 with a 90.1 offensive grade from PFF. The former Duck exclusively played right tackle and was inconsistent during the step-up in competition. He has the length and size to stick at tackle but could be better suited moving to the inside. Cornelius needs a solid week to recover a flagging stock from an underwhelming 2024 season. He’s projecting as an early to middle Day 3 selection.
Ozzy Trapilo
The Boston College lineman could be one of the sleepers in the class from a program that regularly produces standout trench stars. He’s every bit of his verified 6’7 314 and has the length to stick at tackle instead of sliding inside. With a good week, there is a good chance he gets on the radar to get drafted early on Day 3. While he won’t challenge the lofty rankings of the last BC lineman, Zion Johnson, he still has an opportunity to prove the doubters wrong.
Guard
1. Caleb Rogers | Texas Tech
In 2024, Rogers played right tackle primarily but logged significant reps at both left and right guard. His versatility will be a tremendous asset for him. According to PFF, the standout Red Raiders lineman earned a 70.7 overall offensive grade but a 77.3 pass-blocking grade. Rogers is a true road-grading lineman who doesn’t quit until the whistle and seeks secondary contacts frequently. He’s the first Texas Tech offensive lineman to participate in the Senior Bowl since 2020’s Jack Anderson.
Center
1. Jonah Monheim | USC
Monheim is an immensely versatile lineman who has played both tackle spots, guard, and center. He is one of the top center prospects in the class. The Senior Bowl has him listed as a center, but we could expect him to have some reps at guard, given the dearth of the position in Mobile. Given his versatility, if he has a great week, he may make his way into the early to middle stages of Day 3. The Trojans star is the first OL to participate in the Senior Bowl since 2019’s Chuma Edoga. He’s the first true USC center to accept his invitation since Kris O’Dowd in 2011.
