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.

Dean Kindig

No. 1-rated guard in the country on Pro Football Focus (minimum 100 snaps played) with an 82.1 mark.. Played in 11 games as a reserve offensive lineman, especially snaps after star G Luke Kandra went down. Helped a Cincinnati offense that ranked sixth in the Big 12 in total offense (420.6) and paved the way for running back Corey Kiner to rush for a second consecutive 1,000-yard season. Cincinnati finished sixth in the Big 12 in total offense. On3: "Impressive looking offensive line prospect who shocks defenders with the power in his hands and buries them with no regard for their well-being. Stands in at 6-foot-4.5, 285 pounds with a 6-foot-8 wingspan and nearly a 10-inch hand. Solid foot speed and twitch off the line of scrimmage. Comfortable in open space. Ran a solid 4.63 shuttle and jumped a 22-inch vertical during the spring camp circuit prior to his senior season. Combination of punch and understanding of leverage is a vicious combo. Threw 128-foot-8 in the discus as a junior. Dominant wrestler throughout his high school career going a combined 26-6 including an undefeated 10-0 record as a junior. Has the chance to walk in and start along the interior offensive line for almost any program in the country and potentially kick out to tackle down the road."
