Darius Meeks, OL, Grambling State | 2026 NFL Draft Prospect Zoom Interview
Grambling State offensive lineman Darius Meeks is a physically imposing and experienced trench presence with prototypical pro size and length, standing 6-foot-4, 330 pounds with 33½-inch arms and an 81-inch wingspan. A 42-game career starter who has played every offensive line position except center, Meeks brings valuable versatility and a strong football IQ developed across multiple offensive systems. He plays with aggressiveness and heavy hands, showing consistent effectiveness in both the run and pass game, highlighted by a 2025 season in which he did not allow a single sack.
Meeks’ pro projection is strengthened by how his physical traits and power show up on the field. His above-average functional strength is evident in his ability to anchor against power rushers and generate movement at the point of attack, supported by a 400-pound bench press and 560-pound back squat. Combined with his toughness, reliability, and steady year-over-year improvement, Meeks stands out as one of the top HBCU offensive linemen with legitimate professional upside. He is expected to participate in this season’s HBCU Legacy Bowl on February 21, 2006 at Yulman Stadium in New Orleans, LA.
