Arizona’s towering, tackle-ready pass protector with Outland buzz
In the 2025 season, Tristan Bounds emerged as one of Arizona’s most reliable offensive linemen, starting eight games at right tackle and allowing three sacks across 372 pass-blocking snaps. He brings rare length at 6-foot-8 and has earned notice for his pass protection, highlighted by a strong 80.3 pass-blocking grade and a 2026 Outland Trophy watch-list nod. The big differentiator: he battled back from a season-ending leg/ankle injury, which adds toughness and some risk, but also suggests real grit. If you need a long, technically improving tackle with upside, he’s a sneaky good fit.
