EmmanuelPregnon

Pregnon is a stout, powerfully built, and highly experienced guard prospect who brings the potential to be a high-floor starter in the pros. A transfer to Oregon in 2025 after stops at USC and Wyoming, he is a four-year starter with over 3,000 career snaps—with the vast majority at left guard (and one season at right guard). Pregnon blocks with a wide, balanced base and keeps his feet moving to mirror and react to rushers. He brings a strong punch that shocks opponents and works his hands to counter pass rush moves and maintain his grip on a pass rusher’s chest. He drops a heavy anchor and knocks blitzers back as they try to scoot through his gap. He shows excellent awareness for stunts and reacts quickly, flashing a feel for helping out the center or tackle when he’s uncovered; he squeezes down and lends a hand in support until he needs to disengage to pick up someone in front of him. He surrendered just one sack on 1,536 pass block snaps over the past three seasons, per PFF. In the run game, he fires out of his stance with good leverage and plenty of pop. He drives opposing linemen off the line and plows out run lanes. He shows the ability to sustain blocks, using strong hands to latch on and control opponents at the point of attack. 

Pregnon lacks top-tier foot speed; if he loses a step, he can recover, but he often starts to lean and fall off blocks. He’s an interior lineman only, with no experience at center; that lack of positional versatility could be a knock for some teams. He lumbers a bit and can be a beat slow on pull blocks and movement blocks.
