Tulane’s young mauler: Juelz Baptiste is a homegrown OT with NFL-frame upside
Juelz Baptiste enters the 2026 season as a redshirt freshman at Tulane, listed at 6-5 and 323 pounds, with recruiting pedigree as a three-star and Louisiana’s No. 3 offensive tackle in his class. He’s a local product from St. Augustine who played tackle in a playoff run, which hints at real edge and toughness, and Tulane appears to view him as part of an offensive-line reload rather than a pure project. The fit? Strong if you want size, developmental upside, and a player with room to become a tone-setter in the trenches.
