Ben Murawski

Dean Kindig

3rd Highest Run Blocking Grade Among OTs in 2025. Lettered two years in basketball. Inexperienced left guard with a lengthy injury history, but he's a tremendous athlete with the anchor, burst, range, and power. Jim Mora's offense uses a mix of run-pass concepts. The former JUCO product played 544 offensive snaps last year, making multiple starts at left tackle. Teets: "At 6'7", 335 lbs, Murawski is one of the largest guards in college football. He's also an athletic freak with rare explosive movement skills and sink in his hips for a player with his size and thickness. Murawski's anchor and powerful punches prevent rushers from winning through his frame, and his agility helps him mirror smaller players. Murawski's hand usage reflects his inexperience. His 355 offensive snaps in 2024 added to just the 62 he carried over from 2023. However, the knockback in his arm extensions and his snatch-trap suggest hand usage could become a strength in Murawski's game in the future. His arm length isn't the best but should be passable for a guard. Murawski rolls power through his hips in the run game and torques or twists defensive linemen out of gaps. He's quick enough to reach block and excels at combo blocking and climbing to the second level. His range in the run game makes him a dynamic blocker capable of performing in multiple schemes. Injuries have continuously held Murawski back. He has torn both of his labrums and suffered a season-ending knee injury in 2024. Hopefully, he finally gets the chance to put together a complete season.

Green began his collegiate career playing Left Guard (LG) at Oklahoma, transferred to Missouri where he continued at LG, and then moved to Left Tackle (LT) for the 2025 season.

McCrystal: "Green started his career at left guard before shifting to left tackle in 2025. He has thrived in both roles but would likely be in contention to be the first guard off the board in 2027 if he switches back to the interior offensive line. Key stat to know about Cayden Green: Allowed a 4.7% pressure rate in true pass sets, per Pro Football Focus."
