In a time where passing offenses are all the rage in NFL, Texas A&M is quickly earning a reputation as "Left Tackle U". Having put Luke Joekel (2nd overall in 2013) and Jake Matthews into the league at the top of the draft (6th overall in 2014), Cedric Ogbuehi is the next man up.
Ogbuehi has been a four-year starter. Playing G as a RS-Fr and Soph, Ogbuehi moved to RT in 2013. The path is similar to that of Matthews in that regard. Now at LT, Ogbuehi has the skills to be an early selection in 2015.

6'5 305lbs - Can play with power and deliver a strong punch to oncoming rushers. Has very good feet for a big man, as he can pull and reach the edge defender rather easily with his rare athleticism. Displays strength when he gets his hands on a defender. A tough guy to beat with a speed rush as he can quickly go from kick-step to engaging the pass rusher. Not a technician like the previous two A&M LT's, as he plays high at times and allows the defender to get their hands into his power circle. Hand placement needs some work, but has all the skills to be a LT in the NFL.
