Scouting Report

UTAH · 2026 draft class

Spencer Fano is the 2026 class's top offensive tackle prospect due to his loose, fluid movement skills and relentless motor. The 6'6", 308-pound tackle arrived at Utah as a 4-star recruit in the 2023 class and earned second-team AP All-American honors as a true freshman. Fano is of Polynesian descent from a family of athletes - his brother, sister, and four uncles all played in the NFL. He has started 26 games at both left tackle (11 in 2023) and right tackle (15 in 2024/2025), showing scheme versatility. His loose, fluid movement with very good athletic ability, balance, and recovery skills stand out on film. Fano is a rangy pass protector who mixes set lines and works independent hands to disrupt rushers. His excellent effort and strain regardless of game situation make him a coach's favorite. The main concern is his lean, light-in-the-pants build that questions his ability to consistently generate movement at the next level.

Strengths

  • Loose fluid mover with very good athletic ability
  • Rangy pass protector with independent hands
  • Very good short-area quickness and contact balance
  • Strong hands and firm center of gravity
  • Excellent effort and strain in all situations
  • Excellent recovery skills from compromising positions
  • Good at manipulating space and disrupting rushers
  • Scheme versatility with LT and RT experience

Concerns

  • Lean build results in getting stalemated on power
  • Gets pried open on angle-drive blocks
  • Overly reliant on flash technique exposing chest
  • Flash technique leads to erratic strike timing
  • Susceptible to refined inside counters
  • May need to add functional mass

Honors

Second-team AP All-American (2023); 4-star recruit (2023 class); Ranked OT1 and Overall #13; Year 1 Starter grade (8.0); Family of NFL athletes
