College Career Summary

Kadyn Proctor is a rare "super-heavyweight" tackle who pairs historic mass with surprisingly nimble movement. A high-profile recruit, Proctor’s career was a whirlwind of high expectations, including a brief transfer back to Iowa before returning to Tuscaloosa. After an uneven freshman year where he battled speed rushers, Proctor underwent a physical and technical transformation for the 2025 season.

In 2025, he secured Consensus All-American honors and won the SEC Jacobs Blocking Trophy, awarded to the conference’s best blocker. His highlight reel became a viral sensation, not just for pancaking defenders, but for "big man" moments including a goal-line rush and a screen reception against Georgia. Beyond the flashes, his metrics improved drastically; he finished the 2025 regular season allowing only one sack on nearly 500 pass-block snaps, cementing himself as the premier Left Tackle prospect for the 2026 cycle.

Scouting Grade Rubric

Intangibles (.20) — Grade: 88/100

• Leadership: Developing; more of a lead-by-example player than a vocal general.

• Mental Toughness: High; returned to Alabama after transfer portal drama and improved.

• Competitor: Fierce; known for finishing blocks and playing with a "mean streak."

• Team Player: Self-corrected after transfer; fully integrated back into Bama's culture.

• Star Power: Elite. One of the most recognizable faces in the 2026 class.

Physical Tools (.20) — Grade: 98/100

• Height/Weight: 6'7", 369 lbs. (Exceeds all physical benchmarks).

• Stamina: Good for size; has trimmed down to manage 75+ snap workloads.

• Durability: High; started every game in 2025 after a 13-start freshman year.

• Injury History: Medically clean; robust frame holds up against contact.

Attributes (.20) — Grade: 94/100

• Run Block: Elite. Overwhelming power; moves the line of scrimmage at will.

• Pass Block: Great; uses massive wingspan and 369lb frame to widen the arc.

• Strength: Strength. Pure weight-room power translates to on-field displacement.

• Technique: Improved; better hand-timing and punch discipline in 2025.

• High Motor: Good; stays active, though size naturally limits late-game "chase" speed.

Athleticism (.20) — Grade: 90/100

• Speed: Surprising for 360+ lbs; capable of leading screens 20 yards downfield.

• Agility: Solid; nimble feet for his mass, but can struggle with "dip-and-rip" rushers.

• Flexibility: Exceptional; shows the rare ability to "sink" his hips at 6'7".

• Acceleration: Good; explosive first step when he times the snap correctly.

• Footwork: Plus; "dancing bear" movements that defy his massive stature.

IQ (.20) — Grade: 92/100

• Awareness: High; improved recognition of delayed blitzes and stunts.

Scouting Report

• Strengths: Prototypical "Left Tackle of the Future" frame; overwhelming power at the point of attack; refined pass-protection set; elite versatility (athletic enough for trick plays and goal-line rushes); SEC-tested against top-10 EDGE prospects.

• Weaknesses: Weight management will be a career-long focus; can be vulnerable to elite speed-to-power counters if he over-sets; "Red flags" from the transfer portal may require team interviews to clear.

• Scheme Fit: Fits any system, but would be a Monster in a Power-Gap or Vertical-Set pass offense (e.g., Cowboys, Giants, Panthers).

• NFL Comparison: Andrew Thomas / Mekhi Becton.

Scout's Final Word

"Kadyn Proctor is a physical anomaly. There simply aren't many human beings who weigh 369 pounds and can move with his fluidity. After a 'trial-by-fire' freshman year, his 2025 tape was an exhibition of dominance. He has the highest ceiling of any tackle in the draft. If he maintains his conditioning, he isn't just a Day 1 starter—he's a potential All-Pro tackle who can lock down the blindside for a decade. Draft Projection: Top 5 Pick (1st Round)."
