Chase Bisontis Named Top Interior O-Lineman in 2026 NFL Draft Class

Chase Bisontis came to College Station as a blue-chip offensive line prospect from New Jersey, and he is leaving as one of the most decorated interior blockers in the country. The former Texas A&M star is now viewed as the premier interior offensive lineman in the 2026 NFL Draft class, drawing praise from analysts and private workouts from NFL teams alike.

The buzz around Bisontis centers on his versatility and physicality. After starting at right tackle during his freshman season in 2023, he shifted to left guard for his final two years at Texas A&M. That adaptability has scouts viewing him as a plug and play option at the next level, someone who could step in immediately and contribute.

Former longtime NFL offensive line coach Mike Tice, speaking on his son Nate Tice podcast, left little doubt about Bisontis standing in this draft crop. Tice identified the former Aggie as the best interior offensive lineman available and praised his finishing ability as unmatched among interior blockers. It is high endorsement from someone who spent decades evaluating and developing NFL talent at the highest level.

Bisontis was one of 13 Texas A&M players invited to the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, where he led all participants in several measured drills. His performance cemented his status as a late first-round prospect, with most draft projections slotting him somewhere between picks 20 and 32.

The Houston Texans have already hosted Bisontis for an official 30-visit, fueling speculation they could target him with the 28th overall selection. Other teams in that range are expected to have similar interest, given the league-wide shortage of starting-caliber interior offensive linemen.

Bisontis development at Texas A&M benefited enormously from his work with strength and conditioning coach Tommy Moffitt, who is well-known around college football for building bigger, nastier offensive linemen. Moffitt, who spent years at LSU before joining the Texas A&M staff, instilled the kind of physicality and toughness that translates directly to the NFL level.

With the draft less than a month away, Bisontis appears poised to hear his name called early on night one. Teams looking for immediate help on the interior will almost certainly have him near the top of their boards.
