Oregon’s next-bookend left tackle is quietly turning into a nasty-good pass protector
In the 2025 season, Fox Crader flashed real starter upside for Oregon, logging 138 snaps, making his first career start at left tackle against USC, and earning an 88.0 pass-blocking grade from Pro Football Focus while not allowing a sack on 68 pass-blocking snaps. At 6-foot-6 and 311 pounds, his appeal is the combo of size, movement skills, and calm “next man up” poise; Oregon has also described him as a player ready to take over in 2026. If you want a high-ceiling tackle with blue-chip pedigree and real room to grow, Crader is a strong fit.
