Barnhart is a lineman that has never really found his home on the Michigan offensive line. He’s played 550 snaps at right tackle, 361 at left tackle, 174 at left guard, and 25 at right guard. If a team is looking for a swing tackle or a solid versatile lineman who can play anywhere on the offensive line, Barnhart is worth a look.

- Averages One Penalty Every 101 Offensive Snaps
- Averages One Sack every 198 Pass Blocking Snaps
- Allows One Quarterback Hit Every 132 Pass Blocking Snaps
- Allows One Quarterback Hurry Every 80 Pass Blocking Snaps

Telfot is one of the few players on this list that is a pure left tackle. Telfort was a 4-star Offensive Tackle recruit coming out of High School and originally committed to Florida before switching his enrollment to UAB. He is an absolute eraser on the edge and handles Conference USA edge rushers and defensive ends with ease. His mobility isn’t the greatest (Being 6’8″ and 330lbs) and struggled a bit during his only non-conference game this season against LSU allowing 2 QB hits which were his only ones allowed all season.
Darnell Wright: Tennessee
- 6’6″ / 335lbs
- Averages One Penalty Every 122 Offensive Snaps
- Averages One Sack every 146 Pass Blocking Snaps
- Allows One Quarterback Hit Every 132 Pass Blocking Snaps
- Allows One Quarterback Hurry Every 44 Pass Blocking Snaps
- Allows One Quarterback Pressure Every 27 Pass Blocking Snaps
Wright is a swing tackle that has progressed every single year he’s played at Tenessee. He was considered the top offensive tackle in the class of 2019 and came into Knoxville as a right tackle. After his first two seasons, he moved to left tackle where he played and started the 2021 season before being moved back to right tackle for the 2022 season. He really came into his own this year allowing no sacks and only 5 hurries all season. Against Georgia and Alabama combined, Wright allowed only one pressure and one hurry and the starting right tackle. While Wright broke out this season at a right tackle, it is still a possibility he could work his way back to being a left tackle in the NFL with some time and coaching.

- Averages One Sack every 138 Pass Blocking Snaps
