Scouting Report

CLEMSON · 2026 draft class

Blake Miller is one of the quickest and most agile offensive tackles in the 2026 NFL Draft, having never missed a start in his entire collegiate career at Clemson. The 6'6" right tackle was only the fourth true freshman in 50 years to start on Clemson's offensive line, where he's amassed a staggering 2,893 offensive snaps across 41 consecutive starts. A four-star recruit who was the 16th-ranked OT nationally, Miller committed to Clemson over Florida, Michigan, and Ohio State. After earning Freshman All-American honors in 2022, he climbed from third-team All-ACC (2023) to first-team honors (2024). His pressure allowed numbers improved each year: 3-25 in 2022, 2-22 in 2023, 1-18 in 2024, and 2-16 in 2025. Miller has fluid movement to mirror faster edge rushers and vice-like grip when he latche's onto defenders. He showed versatility sliding from right to left tackle mid-game at Pitt without noticeable dropoff. However, he needs better hand placement that too often lands outside defenders' frames, and his kick step can become rigid against elite speed.
