NFL Draft Profile: Trevor Goosby

Position: Offensive Tackle | School: Texas | Class: Redshirt Sophomore

Height: 6'7" | Weight: 312 lbs | Archetype: Pass Blocker (Zone Slide)

College Career Summary

Trevor Goosby is the quintessential "high-ceiling" tackle prospect. After redshirting in 2023, he flashed starter potential in 2024 by appearing in 15 games and making key starts against Georgia and Arizona State in the CFP. His 2025 season was a true breakout; stepping in as the full-time Left Tackle following Kelvin Banks Jr.'s departure, Goosby transitioned from a rotational piece to an All-SEC First Team selection.

Known for his placement on Bruce Feldman's "Freaks List," Goosby pairs a massive 6'7" frame with nearly 20 mph top-end speed and a 360-dunking vertical. While he struggled with run-blocking consistency early in his career, his 2025 tape showed a more balanced blocker who could anchor against SEC power while maintaining the foot speed to mirror elite speed rushers. His "shutout" performance against Texas A&M’s nation-leading pass rush in the season finale cemented his status as a premier blindside protector.

Scouting Report

• Strengths: Prototypical size and rare athletic traits (20 mph speed); elite pass-protection ceiling; exceptional lateral agility for a 312 lb tackle; proven winner against top-tier SEC edge rushers.

• Weaknesses: Inexperience shows in spatial awareness; lower-half power needs building to anchor against NFL bull-rushers; needs more consistency in run-blocking leverage.

• Scheme Fit: Ideal for a Zone-Blocking or Vertical Passing system (e.g., Bears, Dolphins, Rams).

• NFL Comparison: Kolton Miller / Braxton Jones.

Scout's Final Word

"Trevor Goosby is the ultimate 'bet on the traits' prospect. He has the movement skills of a player 50 pounds lighter and the frame to match any NFL tackle. While he is still refining his craft, his performance in the 2025 SEC finale proved he can dominate the best of the best. If he continues to add mass to his lower half, he has All-Pro potential. Draft Projection: 1st Round."
