The Tennessee Titans find themselves in a bit of a bind with their offensive line, particularly at right guard. The absence of Kevin Zeitler, despite fans clamoring for his return, leaves a glaring gap. Coupled with the release of Lloyd Cushenberry at center, the Titans' interior line is looking shaky.
It's almost certain that GM Mike Borgonzi will be eyeing an interior blocker in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft. With Austin Schlottmann and Jackson Slater vying for the center position, even if Zeitler makes a comeback, the Titans need a long-term solution at guard. Let's dive into five promising prospects they might target.
Keylan Rutledge, IOL, Georgia Tech
Keylan Rutledge is a force to be reckoned with. Known for his toughness and relentless play style, he’s the type of player who battles through the whistle.
The Titans have already had a formal chat with him at the NFL Combine, with offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo in attendance. Rutledge would certainly bring some grit to the line.
Chase Bisontis, IOL, Texas A&M
Chase Bisontis from Texas A&M stands out as one of the top interior blockers available. While there's uncertainty about his availability at the 66th pick, the Titans might consider snagging him at No. 35 or trading down in the second round. Bisontis excels in understanding angles and leverage, making him a valuable asset.
Emmanuel Pregnon, IOL, Oregon
Emmanuel Pregnon from Oregon is another powerhouse on the line. His physicality and core strength make him a formidable presence, especially in the run game. Pregnon’s ability to move defenders is something the Titans could definitely use.
Jalen Farmer, IOL, Kentucky
Jalen Farmer from Kentucky brings a balanced approach, equally effective in run blocking and pass protection. Hailing from Covington, Georgia, Farmer can generate movement on the line and holds his ground well against power rushers.
Alex Harkey, IOL, Oregon
Reports indicate that the Titans are interested in Oregon’s Alex Harkey. Although primarily a right tackle in college, his physicality and arm length suggest he could transition to guard. The Titans are clearly doing their due diligence on Harkey.
With these prospects, the Titans have a solid pool of talent to consider as they look to shore up their offensive line for the future.
