If you’re looking for the most complete offensive lineman in college football, Utah’s Spencer Fano is quickly becoming the answer. The 6-foot-6, 302-pound junior is now widely viewed by NFL scouts as the No. 1 offensive lineman in America, and it’s not hard to see why. Fano brings a rare combination of athleticism, technique, and physicality that makes him a true anchor at left tackle.
Fano is a dominant run blocker with powerful hands, great leverage, and the ability to finish plays with authority. What separates him, though, is how clean and refined his technique is. He plays with outstanding body control, rarely lunges, and consistently wins the hand-placement battle. Add in his high football IQ and strong communication skills, and it’s clear he’s the type of lineman who elevates an entire offensive unit.
What makes Fano particularly exciting for NFL evaluators is his versatility. Whether you want to run downhill or lean on a timing-based passing game, he fits both systems seamlessly. He’s explosive out of his stance, moves fluidly for his size, and handles speed rushers and power rushers with equal confidence.
Utah has always prided itself on physical, disciplined football, and Fano is the perfect representation of that identity. If he continues on this trajectory, consistent dominance, technical polish, and elite athletic traits, he’ll not only be a high NFL draft pick, but possibly the first offensive lineman taken.
