BOOKER, TYLER | Alabama | OG | #52 | Jr | 6044 | 348 | 5.35e | New Haven, CT

One-Liner: One of the most impressive athletic specimens from a size and quickness standpoint, with a mean streak like a hungry hippo and a frame comparable to one.

Evaluation: A nasty player inside the trenches, the gargantuan-sized Booker thrives in the run game and has made great strides in pass protection. Due to his great footwork and nimble agility, Booker is able to get down the line in a jiffy on pull blocks and seeks out defenders in the second level. In addition, Booker does an excellent job utilizing his arm length to create leverage and drive opponents. His lateral athleticism is somewhat limited but is masked playing on the interior. The ‘Bama big man is known to hold teammates accountable and has been praised for his preparation. Booker is a candidate to be the first offensive lineman off the board come April.

Background: Did not allow a sack in 715 snaps in 2024, earning All-American First Team honors. Earned All-SEC Freshman honors, making an immediate impact at the guard spot. Was temporarily used at left tackle in early 2024 but was reverted back to his left guard position, which is a more natural fit. A five-star recruit coached by former NFL linebacker Pepper Johnson at IMG Academy.
