Zion Nelson
American football offensive tackleApr 29, 2024 · Nelson will need to get stronger at the next level if he is to be looked at as an eventual starting NFL left tackle. We look at Nelson as a third or fourth-round prospect in the 2024 NFL Draft who has significant upside at the next level. Ideally suited to a pass-happy scheme that doesn't make heavy use of the power run game.
3 days ago · Miami. Zion Nelson 2024 Preview. By Charlie Campbell. Career Recap: Across the past three seasons, Nelson was a solid and steady left tackle for the Hurricanes. As a freshman, he earned the starting left tackle job durng the 2019 preseason and then made all 13 starts for the Hurricanes.
Jul 29, 2023 · Four other Hurricanes, offensive lineman Zion Nelson (No. 34), defensive end Akheem Mesidor (No. 60), quarterback Tyler Van Dyke (No. 74) and safety James Williams (No. 84) are considered...

Alt led all tackles in college football in overall grade (91.4) and run-blocking grade (91.0). He also placed sixth among Power Five tackles in pressure rate allowed (2.1%). He has a massive frame at 6-foot-8, 315 pounds and told me his wingspan is more than 7 feet. Alt looks like the best offensive tackle prospect since Penei Sewell.
Fashanu was a projected first-rounder in the 2023 NFL Draft but opted to return to get his master’s degree. Not only does he excel in the classroom, but he also excels in pass protection. His 84.7 pass-blocking grade ranked sixth among Power Five tackles, and he didn’t surrender a sack and allowed only one hit on 281 pass-blocking snaps. He does ne...
Latham was an elite pass blocker at right tackle for Alabama this past season as a sophomore. He earned an 84.5 pass-blocking grade on true pass sets, fourth among all tackles in college football. On 486 pass-blocking snaps, he allowed only one hit and didn’t give up a sack. He has excellent footwork in pass protection and just needs to develop bet...
Barton was the only Power Five tackle who posted 85.0-plus grades as both a pass blocker and a run blocker last season. His 17 big-time blocks (PFF’s highest-graded blocks) were five more than any other tackle in the country. Barton likely could’ve been a Day 2 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft had he declared. Instead, he enters his senior season as a pr...
Monheim was one of four Power Five tackles to earn 80.0-plus pass- and run-blocking grades. Only Joe Alt was a more valuable tackle in 2022, according to PFF’s wins above average metric. Monheim totaled the most pass-blocking snaps in the country without allowing a sack or hit (570).
A five-star recruit in 2021, Suamataia transferred to BYU from Oregon this past season and flashed elite tools at right tackle. He earned an impressive 80.9 pass-blocking grade in 2022.
Only Peter Skoronski posted a higher pass-blocking grade than Foster’s 86.7 mark this year among Power Five tackles. On 457 pass-blocking snaps against some of the best edge defenders in America, the redshirt senior gave up just a 3.5% pressure rate.
Fisher has the requisite physical tools at 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds but needs to put it all together. He earned a 72.9 overall grade and a 68.9 pass-blocking grade at right tackle for Notre Dame. If he can improve his technique, specifically his hand usage, the Fighting Irish could have two tackles go in the first round.
Nelson was a projected first-rounder in many way-too-early mock drafts for both the 2022 and 2023 classes. He’s returning for a fifth season at Miami, which is also his fifth as the Hurricanes’ starting left tackle. In 2022, Nelson played just 61 snaps due to a knee injury. What made him such an intriguing prospect over the past few years was his s...
So far, Mims' career arc is quite similar to that of Broderick Jones, the 14th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Both were top-10 recruits in their respective classes and spent their first two seasons as backup tackles. They each impressed in that role as sophomores before becoming a starter at left tackle as juniors. In 2022, Mims earned a 77.5 ...

Dec 7, 2021 · Nelson, 6-5 and 316 pounds, started seven games last season at left tackle, including the last six of the season. He has been projected by various college football analysts as a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. - Miami Herald. (DS#16 OT) rSr/2025 OT Zion Nelson , Miami. News Source: Miami Herald.
Jun 14, 2021 · June 14, 2021 | 1:28 PM EDT. The Miami Hurricanes haven’t had an offensive tackle drafted to the NFL since 2015. That drought could end in the 2023 NFL Draft with Miami OT Zion Nelson returning to the program for his senior season. Can Nelson join Ereck Flowers, Vernon Carey, and Bryant McKinnie as a first-round selection from the Hurricanes?
