Drake Metcalf brings proven, versatile interior-line value to Virginia
Metcalf is a high-floor offensive lineman who started all 14 games in 2025 for Virginia, splitting time between right guard and center, and that versatility is the main reason he matters; he can stabilize the interior, cover multiple spots, and give a staff flexibility when injuries hit.[4][1] At 6'2" and rated 80 in EA Sports College Football 26, he profiles as a dependable, physical fit rather than a flashy one, with recent reporting also noting the intelligence and adaptability needed to move from guard to center midseason.[1][9]
