Draft Scouting Report

Pro Comparison: Graham Barton

Summary

Spencer Fano shares a similar athletic profile to Graham Barton, though Barton has already proven his versatility by playing tackle and center at Duke. Fano shows the movement skills and positional flexibility to potentially play multiple spots along the offensive line. He displays excellent feet, the ability to mirror and anchor in protection, and the strength to move defenders in the run game. Fano’s functional strength and lower-half power consistently show up on tape.

About

2025: Fifth unanimous All-American in Utah history
2025: Outland Trophy winner (nation’s top interior OL)

Strengths

Excels as a drive blocker when defenders aren’t stunting or moving; fits blocks with strong hand placement, good footwork and excellent power at the point of attack.
Rarely beaten in pass protection (zero sacks allowed in 2025, three total over three seasons at Utah); quick feet with the ability to recover when initially stressed.
Great size and length with versatility to play both tackle spots and potentially slide inside to guard.

Weaknesses

Has technique issues in pass protection that he must clean up at the next level; turning his inside foot can open his shoulders and create vulnerabilities against NFL-caliber rushers.
Lacks exceptional hand power and punch in protection; more of a trapper and clamper with his hands
Lacks ideal body mass at 308 pounds for some NFL teams seeking a larger profile.
