A raw talent who began playing on the offensive line since 2015, Prince Tega Wanogho is an incredible athlete standing 6’7″, 300 pounds. Wanogho was actually a highly rated defensive lineman coming out of high school before arriving at Auburn where he was moved across the line of scrimmage. Despite his inexperience, Wanogho looks like a natural at tackle. However, he’ll have much to prove to climb draft boards.

Wanogho is a quality blocker all around, thanks in large part to his athleticism. He gets out in front of speed rushers and has the strength to handle power rushers. He could certainly use his hands better, but his quick feet and positioning balance him out well at the college level. While he can tend to play too tall, he has shown the flexibility to find a lower center of gravity and a strong base in both phases of the game.

Wanogho shines as run blocker. He shows excellent drive on his blocks with his powerful frame. He can also get to the second level with consistency, acquiring his target and attacking him accurately, traits he also shows well in open field blocking.

Wanogho is a guy who could climb draft boards throughout the 2019 season. While he certainly is a raw prospect, he looks to be very coachable and is taking his position and potential seriously. He doesn’t have the accolades of the other linemen on this list, but he has just as much potential to be a first or second-round pick.
