2026 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis (OL – Texas A&M)
6-foot-5 | 315 Pounds
Background
Chase Bisontis was a four-star recruit who started all 12 games at right tackle as a freshman, allowing four sacks and 31 combined sacks + hits + hurries on the year.
Slid inside to left guard the following year, starting nine games (sustained an injury around mid-season and came back later on). This past season, allowed zero sacks and eight combined sacks + hits + hurries on the year, also at left guard.
Positives
Three-year SEC starter with experience at both guard and tackle in the Aggies’ balanced offensive scheme. Well-built lineman who carries his weight pretty well and has a lot of natural power to his game. Bisontis plays with a physical on-field temperament that offensive line coaches will love. Athleticism makes him a scheme-versatile run blocker. Fires out low and with some explosiveness. Shows above-average flexibility for the position, allowing him to compete in the leverage battle.
The lineman’s short-area quickness is good enough to execute hook blocks. Has a solid feel for positioning and above-average anchor strength to wall off opponents. Has mauler traits in a phone booth. Active with his feet after contact to generate push. Works hard to sustain through the whistle and shows very good grip strength.
Bisnotis resets his hands very well. Shows good knee bend in pass protection, and has the lower-body strength to anchor against power. Lateral quickness to mirror is better than some tackles and is solid overall. Bisontis has active hands with some power in them to jolt opponents. Keeps his head on a swivel in pass protection and has powerful shoves to jolt defenders when helping. Able to pull and secure blocks on the backside in pass protection.
Negatives
Struggled a bit at right tackle as a freshman, so some teams may consider Bisontis more of a pure guard than a positionally versatile lineman. Snap-to-snap consistency isn’t quite where you’d like it to be for a three-year starter. Aggressiveness can sometimes cause him to overrun spots when pulling or blocking on the move; plays with a sense of urgency, but at times it looks like patience would be appropriate.
Puts some lunges and whiffs on tape when playing outside of his frame. Penalties have ticked up since his freshman season, with a combined 15 over the past two years. Appeared to be involved in some miscommunications in pass protection, allowing free runners on the interior, although it’s hard to tell who was responsible.
Summary
A thick, athletic and naturally powerful three-year starter with a physical, aggressive temperament, Bisontis has all the tools to develop into a plus starter as an assignment-versatile run blocker and talented pass protector.
However, snap-to-snap consistency isn’t quite where you’d like, as Bisontis’ aggressiveness can sometimes lead to penalties or issues with positioning, especially when he’s trying to line up opponents in space. Improving his overall discipline without losing what makes him such a fun player to watch will be the key to reaching his potential. Should get second-day looks from teams trying to establish a physical, smashmouth identity on the ground.
