Penn State OG Olaivavega Ioane is one of the nation's best interior offensive linemen.
During the college football season each year, as long as you're watching the games, we point out five players each week to keep an eye on who make logical sense for the Philadelphia Eagles in the following year's NFL Draft.
Ioane is a guard prospect who has experience at LG and RG, with some sparse snaps at LT, RT, and C. He plays under control with good technique, but will also bury defenders into the turf when the opportunity arises. He understands angles in the run game, and he's a brick wall in pass pro. Great player.
The Eagles have an interesting situation at guard. Landon Dickerson is a good player when healthy, but he has a history of serious injuries dating back to high school and college, and his body has taken a pounding the last two seasons. He doesn't strike me as a guy likely to play deep into his 30's. Meanwhile, RG Tyler Steen has been fine in his first season as a starter, but he is only under contract through 2026, and he's probably not above being replaced but a better player.
Miller has been Clemson's starting RT since his freshman season, and he has also filled in at LT at times when Clemson has had injuries along their line. He's experienced and versatile, with ideal length and decent athleticism. Video via Devin Jackson:
Fred Johnson is scheduled to be a free agent in 2026. Miller could be a backup swing tackle early in his career, with some upside to start at RT down the road whenever Lane Johnson retires. Round 3/4 guy.
Johnson is a playmaker. In 2025 he had 4 INTs, two of which were pick-sixes, in addition to 9 pass breakups and a forced fumble. In 2024, he had 3 forced fumbles. He's a ballhawk, but also a skilled corner in man and off coverage, and he's a quality tackler with some special teams chops. Video via @dreherscouting:
He's gonna go Day 2, with an outside chance to sneak into Round 1 if he crushes it at the Senior Bowl like Quinyon Mitchell did.
Missouri has a pair of edge rushers who will play in the pros in Zion Young and Damon Wilson.
In 2025, Wilson had a breakout season, with 9 sacks and an INT. Prior to the 2025 season, Wilson had transferred from Georgia, who is now suing him. He originally enrolled at Georgia as a top 20 high school prospect nationally. Like a lot of five-star recruits, Wilson is a freak athlete gifted with natural ability (video via @Jacobinfante24):
I think he goes late Round 1 or early Round 2.
Koziol caught 94 passes for 839 yards and 8 TDs at Ball State in 2024 before transferring to Houston. At Houston in 2025, he had 65 catches for 651 yards and 5 TDs. He is a tall 6'7" target with a huge catch radius. He makes contested catches and can easily high-point balls in the red zone over opposing corners, safeties, and linebackers. A quick highlight reel from 2024 at Ball State:
The Eagles have a pretty obvious need at tight end depth. Day 3 guy.
