Gavin Proudfoot brings rare tackle size and steady 2025 starting experience
In the 2025 season, Gavin Proudfoot started 11 games at right tackle for UNI, and his 6-foot-7, 300-pound frame made him a clear pass-protection project with real upside. He earned a 64.5 overall Pro Football Focus grade in 2025, but also allowed five sacks, one quarterback hit, and 17 pressures, so the tape says he can be stressed by quicker edge rushers. The good news: he’s durable, experienced, and already proven enough to draw an Iowa State transfer move, which usually means teams see a starter-sized body with development left.
