I took so many visits to Penn State while he was there. I've trained with him. I've watched him work with players. He's more than a coach for me. He's my guy. That relationship right there is a huge part of why we got interested in Florida.
The Patriots' 2025 offensive line, despite the team's superb season, allowed far too many sacks. They surrendered 47 in the regular season and another whopping 21 in the postseason, highlighted by six in the Super Bowl that helped cost them the game. They need multiple additions at both tackle and guard, and some 2025 players should be moved out.
"What a ride it's been!" Havenstein wrote in a post on Instagram. "I can look back on my career and smile knowing I have given everything I had and more to the game I love. "In saying that, I am officially retiring from the NFL." Havenstein, the longest-tenured Rams player on the roster last season, thanked his teammates and coaches, the Rams organization and his parents and wife for their support.
Miami offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa on Thursday officially declared for the 2026 NFL draft, where he is expected to be among the first players selected. Mauigoa is ranked as the No. 1 offensive tackle by ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. in this year's draft. In his latest mock draft, Kiper has Mauigoa being picked No. 3 overall by the Arizona Cardinals.
There have been very few constant bright spots for the Washington Commanders this season. It's been a disastrous campaign for several reasons, but there are some shining lights for the team to build around when the 2026 offseason commences. One of those was spotted almost instantly by former linebacker turned FOX Sports analyst Jonathan Vilma, who was working Washington's game against the New York Giants in Week 15. And it's something fans have been screaming for months.
West Virginia and coach Rich Rodriguez secured a massive commitment in the 2026 class Tuesday from four-star offensive tackle Kevin Brown, who will land as the Mountaineers' highest-ranked signee in at least 15 years. Brown, No. 78 in the 2026 SCNEXT 300, is a 6-foot-5, 265-pound prospect from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He previously spent more than a year committed to Penn State's incoming recruiting class before reopening his process following the firing of coach James Franklin last month.
Bryce Williams, a 6-foot-8, 270-pound center for Harvard-Westlake's basketball team, had a talk with coach David Rebibo. He hadn't played football since seventh grade and wanted to give it a try as a senior. "Coach Rebibo and I talked about it, and he thought it would be good for me," Williams said. With Rebibo's blessing, Williams joined the football team and now could become a very good football prospect the way he is using his body and agility at offensive tackle this season.
Draft observers will recall all the hullabaloo about Campbell's arms being a whopping 3/8s" shorter than the so-called NFL minimum for an NFL tackle, never mind a left tackle who plays on an island much of the time. Fortunately, Mike Vrabel ignored all that foolishness, stood pat, and used that fourth pick on Campbell, who was instantly installed as his starting left tackle.
With that being said, Morris is a more valuable player than it might seem. He was better at right tackle than he was at left tackle, and the 2023 third-round pick will make $2.6 million over the next two seasons. In a market in which Dan Moore and current Chiefs lineman Jaylon Moore received $15 million or more per season in free agency, Morris would have meaningful value if he were on the open market.
