DARIUS GRAY'S SCOUTING REPORT

“Athletic offensive lineman with a dense build that has the foot quickness to lead the way on long pulls or counters and the horsepower to hold the line of scrimmage or change it.

"Ended up being one of the biggest surprises of the 2025 Navy All-American Bowl as he arrived with 34-inch arms and then was able to anchor all week against much older and larger defenders.

"Relentless energy allows him to not only be a plus finisher in the run game but also readjust and recover in pass sets. Tends to punch with authority and frequently has the upper and lower halves dancing to the same tune. "Has what it takes to certainly handle one of the corners on Saturdays, but a combination of brute force and rare movement patterns suggests that he could emerge as a cheat code of a guard in a zone-blocking scheme.

"Might need a developmental year or two to find his bearings as he levels up in competition and adjusts to the speed of the college game, but profiles as someone who has what it takes to blossom into an early-round NFL Draft pick with his basketball background and full-time, two-way snaps at the prep level." — Andrew Ivins, 247Sports director of scouting
