Jacob Arop is a rising FCS tackle with starter-level upside and a nasty finish
In the 2025 season, South Dakota OL Jacob Arop emerged as a real difference-maker, playing in 11 games with 6 starts and earning Missouri Valley Football Conference Offensive Lineman of the Week honors after grading as the Coyotes’ top lineman against No. 8 South Dakota State[1][2]. At 6-foot-6 and about 300 pounds, he brings rare length, power, and developing pass-protection value, with recruiting outlets previously tagging him as a high-end national tackle prospect[1][6]. If a team wants a young, physical, high-ceiling blocker who already proved he can hold up in big games, Arop is worth a very close look[1][12].
