Among Texas A&M's 13 players from the 2025 roster, four of the Aggies' starting offensive linemen, including tackles Trey Zuhn III and Dametrious Crownover, greatly improved their draft stock after performing well in nearly every drill. While Zuhn will likely transition to center at the next level, Crownover's size, athleticism, and elite length should be receiving more attention.
Standing 6'7" and 319 pounds, the former tight end's arm length, measured at 35 3/8’’, combined with 10" hands, makes Crownover a potential steal in the mid to late rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft, and, according to one draft analyst, the veteran tackle should be included in the same conversation as Miami offensive tackle Markel Bell, who stands 6'9" and 346 pounds, with an arm length of 36 3/8’’.
During his final season in College Station, Crownover logged 784 snaps, including 428 pass blocking snaps, and allowed just two sacks on the season, while his 23 allowed pressures are certainly an area that needs to be fixed at the next level. Per Pro Football Focus, Crownover finished the year with an impressive 72.4 run blocking grade and an average 58.4 pass blocking grade.
Under the right development plan, Crownover's 5.14 40-yard dash time and 1.79 10-yard split prove a more than solid athletic base that could result in a long career in the NFL, especially if his technique is cleaned up, and, most importantly, his footwork against elite pass rushers does not continue to be an issue.
