FantasyPros will be taking a look at early NFL Draft scouting reports before the Combine in February. Here’s a look at Texas offensive tackle Trevor Goosby.
2026 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby (OT – Texas)
6-foot-7 | 312 Pounds
Background
Trevor Goosby’s great uncle is Dick “Night Train” Lane. Goosby is a Texas native and a three-star recruit who redshirted the 2023 season and then started two out of 15 games in 2024.
Allowed five pressures over 319 snaps, per Pro Football Focus (PFF), before taking over the blindside tackle position this year after Kelvin Banks entered the NFL Draft. Through the 2025 regular season, Goosby allowed a total of three sacks and 17 combined sacks + hits + pressures.
Positives
Redshirt sophomore who was able to step right into the blindside role for a major SEC program and play at a high level. Built like the prototypical left tackle, with excellent size and length and solid bulk, carrying his weight well; really looks the part.
Goosby comes from a balanced, relatively pro-style offensive attack. Smooth mover with very good flexibility for an offensive lineman. Texas asked him to get out in space very often, and he looked comfortable climbing to the second level, pulling or leading the way on screens.
Goosby’s quickness allows him to get into position and use his extension/anchor to wall off opponents. Is capable of sealing EDGE defenders inside when he blocks down on their outside shoulder. Active with his feet after engaging and works hard to finish through the whistle. His combination of smooth lateral movement skills, long strides and outstanding length allows him to protect the edge very effectively against speed rushers on the outside.
Does a nice job of playing with patience and letting opponents enter his range before engaging, showing good balance. Lower body strength and overall anchor look solid.
Negatives
As a one-year starter, Goosby has less experience than the other top tackles in the class and might require a bit more seasoning than some of his peers. Has some occasional balance issues after engaging, where he ends up lowering his head or bending at the waist; overall snap-to-snap consistency in this area remains a work in progress.
Goosby’s hands can find their way a little bit outside at times. Cut down on penalties this year, but was flagged six times as a redshirt freshman. Smoother and more flexible than he is explosive as a mover. More of a finesse tackle who doesn’t show a ton of violence in his hands or overall physicality. Would like to see him be a bit more proactive with his punch to knock defenders off balance in pass protection; some snaps where he’s catching and riding instead of initiating contact.
Summary
Few offensive tackle prospects can compete with a combination of size, length and fluidity that Goosby possesses. Stepping into the starting lineup and playing at a high level against some of the best teams in college football makes him one of the most interesting linemen in the class.
While it would be nice to see him improve his hand use and get some more glass in his diet, natural left tackle tools don’t grow on trees, and Goosby’s upside looks incredible. Consequently, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he came off the board in the first round, even in a relatively competitive tackle class.
