Listen up, football fanatics, because the 2027 NFL Draft is still a ways out, but Trevor Goosby is already the clear-cut OT1. We’re talking about a player who would have been the top tackle if he’d declared after last season, and he’s only going to get better. This isn’t just hype, it’s a fact based on his monster potential.
Goosby Is Dominant, Period.
You want to talk about a do-it-all left tackle? Look no further than Goosby. The dude is 6-foot-7, 325 pounds, a redshirt junior from Texas, and frankly, there are no holes in his game. Zero. He’s got the ideal frame, the perfect size, incredible movement skills for a man his stature, and the ability to generate power that makes opposing defensive ends look tiny. While his 2025 season started a little slow, by the end of it, his tape was absolutely dominant. Seriously, if we see that same guy, or even a better version, this upcoming 2026 season, Goosby will be hands down the best senior offensive tackle prospect of this decade. That’s a bold claim, but the facts back it up.
Seaton and Heard Bring Serious Talent, Too
While Goosby is sitting pretty at the top, the rest of this 2027 offensive tackle class is still stacked. Jordan Seaton, a junior from LSU at 6-foot-5, 307 pounds, is a pass-first left tackle with Round 1 potential. He’s got that “know it when you see it” athlete vibe, everything you’d want to handle NFL-caliber edge rushers. Quick feet, long arms, urgent hands, the whole nine yards. And forget worrying about the jump from Colorado to SEC competition, those skills translate. The one knock? His run game. He’s not exactly a people mover and can struggle to sustain blocks, which actually reminds some folks of Olu Fashanu. But if Seaton puts together a strong season, he’s looking at being drafted even higher than Fashanu’s 11th overall pick.
Then you’ve got Lance Heard, a 6-foot-6, 325-pound senior from UK. This guy is a gap-scheme tackle with prodigious power in his hands. Watching his tape from Tennessee last year, you can’t help but think of Darnell Wright’s senior film. What separates Heard from a lot of other strong offensive tackles out there is how much he absolutely relishes hitting guys. That’s the kind of intensity you love to see!
The 2027 NFL Draft class for offensive tackles is strong, rating an 8 out of 10. We’re talking about a class that has “All-World athletes” who could already be top-10 picks. It’s got inexperienced guys with high-end coordination, powerful tackles who toss SEC defensive ends around, and nimble guys with some play strength questions. Bottom line, we’re likely to see another half-dozen or so tackles sneak into the top-32 picks. Keep your eyes peeled on these names as the college football season kicks off, because their futures are being written right now.
