Spencer Fano: Rams' Draft Pick for Tackle Spot

On March 25, Utah Offensive Tackle Spencer Fano is generating serious buzz as a top prospect

for the 2026 NFL draft.

At 6 foot 5½ and 311 pounds, he's built like a tank, but runs a blazing 4.9140 yard

dash.

Mock Drass from sites like NFL.com often link him to the Los Angeles Rams at pick number

13.

His testing numbers stand out in a big way, that 40 time lands in the 96 percentile for

tackles, and his 10 yard split hits the 85th.

Sure, his arms measure just 32 and in 8 inches, but he makes up for it with quick feet,

bend, and sharp technique that shuts down.

Reshers.

Analysts rave about his play on tape, and the awards he racked up last season.

Fano earned Polynesian College football player of the year, Big 12 offensive lineman of

the year, the Outland Trophy, and consensus first team.

All American honors, proving his dominance up front.

For the Rams, he could fill a key gap at right tackle after Rob Havenstein's retirement.

Warren McClendon Jr. stepped up last year, with top pass protection stats, and Alec Jackson

is locked in on the left through 2027.

Still, Fano's agility would boost their outside zone runs and screens.

This draft projection highlights how Fano's rare skills might lock down the Rams' tackle

spots for the long hole.
