Interior DL with SEC starter upside and disruptive first-step power
Blocton is a physically gifted interior lineman who showed real growth at Auburn, starting eight games in 2025 and finishing with 18 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 0.5 sacks and a fumble recovery after posting 16 tackles, 4.0 TFL and 1.5 sacks as a true freshman in 2024.[2][4] His differentiators are burst, strength and gap-disruption—EA’s ratings back that up with 86 strength, 81 acceleration, 84 power moves and 79 block shedding—but some evaluators note missed tackles remain a concern, so he projects best as an attacking DL who can create chaos rather than just eat space.[5][8]
