Garret Rutledge is a towering Iowa State depth piece with upside and special-teams grit
In the 2025 season, Garret Rutledge played in three games as a true freshman and, in the 2026 preseason, remained listed at 6-foot-7 and 315 pounds as a redshirt sophomore offensive lineman for Iowa State.[1][15] The appeal here is size plus developmental flexibility: he was a two-star recruit, earned first-team all-state honors in high school, and brings a physical profile that fits power running and line-room growth.[14][11] If you want a long, sturdy tackle/guard prospect with room to keep climbing rather than a finished product, Rutledge is worth a look.[1][14]
