RISERS & FALLERS DAY 4

The NFL stacked all of the OL group into one lazy Sunday. It’s become a grand NFL tradition to make the big guys an afterthought. But the combine’s final Sunday turned out to be one of the best days of the entire event.

Monroe Freeling made a splash, testing perfectly and looking like a first rounder. The Utah Utes tackles, Spencer Fano and Caleb Lomu, reminded scouts what “consensus top tackles” means. And Oregon Riser Emmanuel Pregnon had quite a showing. So read on to find out which of the bigs are up, and which are down in Cutcall’s Combine Stock Watch: Day 4.

• Day 1: Edge, LB, and DL prospects
• Day 2: CB, Safety, and TE prospects
• Day 3: QB, RB, and Wide Receiver prospects

Monroe Freeling had a strong 2025 season, but a shaky playoffs. Saving one of his worst games for Alabama. He has a lot to clean up as a run blocker. But he made a huge impression at the NFL combine, testing into the atlas-class of athletes. The 9.99 RAS is punctuation. But the raw numbers are gaudy. He cleared 6 feet and 7 inches, topped 315 lbs, and ran a 4.93 forty yard dash.

Caleb Lomu was not to be outshone by battery-mate Spencer Fano. He added another banner day for Utah prospects. He might have had the smoothest looking drills of the group. Lomu flat out aced the 40 yard dash at 4.99 seconds. But what is critical for the very young OT prospect is where he won the most. He’s had core strength questions for 1.5 years. But he did a lot to dispel those for scouts by weighing in at 311, and then adding a very respectable 32.5 vertical jump.

Spencer Fano killed the combine. He measured shorter than some might want to see. But he sold himself as an NFL RT in every other respect. Fano moved better than some Wide Receivers might in the field drills. He topped it with a 4.91 forty yard dash. Crucially, he measured a true 6’5″ and 311, which are a bigger prognosticators of where he’ll ultimately play than arm length.

Everyone forgot about Blake Miller (except Cutcall, who’ve had him Red Chip graded). But he stunned scouts at the 2026 combine. Miller had terrific field drills, both urgent and polished. And the Clemson OTs explosives were elite: 9.94 RAS, 6’6″ and 3/4 with a class top-five 5.04 forty yard dash. It’s conceivable Miller is off the board by selection 20 now.

Cutcall has long championed Emmanuel Pregnon as OG2 in the draft. The Oregon LG cashed that check on day 4 of the Combine. He was efficient and explosive in field work. Emmanuel measured in with terrific LG length and weight. And he posted the best vertical jump of the IOL group at 35″. Pregnon staked a claim to a fringe first grade with the closing statement of his Senior year.

Kage Casey played tackle for the Boise State Broncos. He worked out with the tackles at the combine. But his scores were a mismatch with the best tackle prospects. He measured 32″ 3/4 and weighed a borderline 310. Scouts can live with these numbers. But not if the prospect also runs consecutive > 5.2 second dash times with a bottom of the class 1.85 split. Kage’s camp will have a hard time pitching him as the kind of athlete or mover who can roll into an NFL job minus length and weight but still punch with the best defenders with a combine reflected in a 6.01 RAS.

Dametrious Crownover had just recovered from a disastrous playoff run with a strong senior bowl performance. The Texas A&M tackle didn’t continue his comeback tour at the combine. His 10 yard split was a middling 1.79. However, Crownover’s biggest questions are technical and tape related. And his awkward field drills resurfaced those questions about his core coordination and body control. At one point the OT seemed to almost stumble and fall. It was the kind of national performance that can drop a tackle’s stock.

Based on his Iowa pedigree, Beau Stephens was a candidate for a mid-day 2 selection. The last day of the combine might have damaged that case. Watch enough Iowa tape and you can see his length and proportional deficiencies. He’s a well built enough player to the naked eye. But he really had some of the worst athletic testing in the group. In Stephen’s case we have another mismatch, as 31″ arms do not pair well with a 5.35 second forty yard dash and mere 8.6 ft broad jump.
