School: Georgia

Class: Junior

Position: OT

HT: 6’7

WT: 315 lbs

Background: Monroe Freeling was ranked as one of the best offensive tackles in the country in the 2023 class. He was a top 50 player in the nation and a top 10 offensive tackle in the nation. Out of Charleston, South Carolina, Freeling played for Oceanside Collegiate Academy. He was a member of a state championship team and was selected to play in the All-American Bowl. Freeling committed to Georgia over Notre Dame, Florida, and Miami.

College: Freeling was primarily a reserve offensive tackle in 2023 and 2024. He became the Bulldogs’ starter as a junior in 2025. He was a Second Team All-SEC selection after starting 12 games for Georgia.

Strengths: Monroe Freeling has ideal measurables for the offensive tackle position. He has long arms and wide shoulders that he uses functionally in the phone booth. He does not sacrifice length for mass as he is a mammoth of a human being in terms of both length and mass. Freeling has a firm anchor that allows him to absorb contact at the line of scrimmage, bringing the rush to a screeching halt. Despite his size, Freeling is an incredible mover. He finds his landmarks in open space efficiently and takes good angles to defenders in pursuit. He has the lateral agility to recover well when beaten on the first step. Off the snap, Freeling consistently gets in a powerful initial punch before quickly resetting his hands to get in position to anchor and absorb.

Weaknesses: The biggest concern in Freeling’s game is his short resume. He only started one season. His breakout age wasn’t necessarily late, but he has limited sample size. Sometimes, Freeling tends to rely on his length and think a defender is within striking distance when he isn’t, causing lunges and off-balance reaches. He struggles to sustain blocks on a consistent basis, losing grip midway through the rep.

Conclusion: Monroe Freeling has all the size to win at tackle. He moves well in open space and acts as a wrecking ball in the run game. He is a younger prospect with limited experience. He has plenty of untapped potential with one of the higher ceilings in the entire class.
