Ole Miss’s steady, award-winning left tackle with NFL-caliber size
In the 2025 season, Diego Pounds emerged as a reliable anchor for Ole Miss at left tackle, earning SEC Co-Offensive Lineman of the Week honors and later another SEC weekly award after strong protection outings against Arkansas and Oklahoma. He’s a big, long-bodied blocker at roughly 6-foot-6 and 330-plus pounds, with the kind of pass-protection consistency teams covet: Ole Miss credited him with being its top pass blocker in the 2025 CFP opener against Tulane, and he started 24 games across his Rebels tenure. The fit? If you want a tough, experienced edge protector with proven big-game reps, he’s a sneaky good addition.
