Scouting Report
Blake Frazier followed his father to Ann Arbor. Steve Frazier played center on Michigan's 1997 national title team, and Blake, a four-star tackle out of Vandegrift in Leander, Texas, picked the Wolverines over LSU and Texas after a growth spurt moved him from the interior to tackle. Michigan then handed a redshirt freshman the left tackle job in midseason, and the results were what young tackles usually produce: real flashes and real wounds. Across 13 games in 2025 he took 244 pass-blocking snaps and 261 in the run game, allowing four sacks and 16 pressures while drawing just one penalty. The Purdue game shows what he can be, a spotless pass-protection sheet with easy movement in the run game, and his pulls, climbs and reach blocks are reps you cannot teach. The problems are strength and seasoning. He plays well under NFL tackle weight, and the best fronts on his schedule treated him accordingly, with Ohio State and Texas both beating him for sacks. His anchor gives way whenever long-armed power lands first, and he catches rushers rather than striking them. Four sacks allowed in a half-season of starts is the kind of leak that gets quarterbacks hurt. He chose to stay in Ann Arbor rather than chase the portal, and two more seasons of starts plus a serious mass program could move him quickly. Today he is a traits-and-time developmental tackle.
The Tape
Strengths
- Foot speed and range stand out immediately
- pulls, climbs and reach blocks look effortless
- run blocking on the move is ahead of his pass protection
- one penalty across roughly 500 snaps, rare discipline for a first-year starter
- clean pass-protection sheet against Purdue with movement in the run game
- thrown into the fire as a redshirt freshman and started the final six games at left tackle
- 6-6 frame with room to carry significant added mass
- offensive line bloodlines, his father started at center on Michigan's 1997 national title team
Weaknesses
- Pass protection broke down against top rushers, with Ohio State and Texas both getting home for sacks
- four sacks allowed in a half-season of starts
- needs a serious weight-room investment, his current mass is well below NFL tackle standards
- anchor gives way to long-armed power
- sinks late and catches rushers instead of striking first
- only six starts on file
- 16 pressures allowed on 244 pass-blocking snaps is a high rate
NFL Comparison
Paris Johnson Jr. movement skills on a frame that needed filling out; Braden Smith developmental Big Ten tackle arc; Kingsley Suamataia athletic tools ahead of anchor strength
