Logan Brown, RT Kansas: 2025 NFL Draft Profile

Classification: Redshirt senior right tackle from Grand Rapids, Mich.

Background: Brown was a five-star recruit from East Kentwood High School in Kentwood, Mich. in the class of 2019. He was the No. 7 recruit according to 247Sports, No. 47 (four-star) for Rivals, and No. 16 for On3.com. ESPN ranked him 15th (four-star) in the nation with an 89 grade out of 100. Brown transferred from Wisconsin to Kansas for the 2023 season. He earned All-State and All-Conference honors as a high school junior and senior on his way to receiving an All-American Bowl selection. Brown served as a team captain as a senior. He won back-to-back state championships in shot put during his sophomore and junior campaigns and finished in the top ten for the event at New Balance Nationals as a junior and senior. Brown’s sister, Jessica, played volleyball at Western Michigan.

Injuries & Off-Field: Type 1 diabetic, shoulder and biceps injury cost him his true freshman year, dismissed from Wisconsin in October 2022 after an internal incident reported to be a fight during practice, missed all but two games in 2023 with a season-ending lower leg injury, rolled up on vs. Colorado (2024) and didn’t play the following week vs. Baylor

Awards: 2024 Second Team All-Big 12

Pros: Minor experience at LT in addition to starting time at RT, arm length meets tackle thresholds, examples of quick slides in pass pro, frames blocks well, vise grips for hands, takes control of the rep with early strikes and clamps, attacks the defender’s hands going into contact, strike timing, nice strike power, finds extra work, powerful rib shots on 3-techs, chops to attack and break long-arms, snatch-trap, hand placement in the run game to access the defender’s chest, core strength and flexibility to torque defenders out of gaps, continuous leg drive to displace defenders, too big and strong for Big 12 edge rushers, caves in the defensive line on down blocks, clears out 5-techs in the run game, good power pulling on gap runs to clear out defenders, nice speed moving to the second level, some nice finishes in the run game, serves pancakes, frequently put defenders on the ground vs. Kansas State (2024), plays through the whistle, wants to finish plays sitting on top of defenders on the ground, mean streak

Cons: Dismissal from Wisconsin, injury history, penalized five times in 2024, high-cut frame, lean lower half, lacks the explosive kick step to consistently protect outside shoulder, foot speed leaves outside shoulder vulnerable, limited range up the arc, footwork breaks down quickly when challenged vertically, lacks the twitch to mirror some pass rushers, overextends attempting to initiate contact, some heel-clicking early in pass set, base occasionally narrows going into contact and breaks down, knocked off balance by clubs, inconsistent pad level, doesn’t sink hips when anchoring, struggles to redirect and close the B-gap, defaults to holding when tested through the B-gap, late to recognize stunts, latch leads to holds when defenders try to shed, falls off blocks in the run game, inconsistent displacement generated against larger base ends, lacks the burst and top speed for tough angles up to linebackers

Overview: Brown played fewer than 1,000 offensive snaps across his extended stay in college because of injuries and lagging development. It’s worth looking into some of the frustrating elements from his time at Wisconsin and his dismissal from the program. Brown primarily played right tackle in college but also took nearly 200 snaps at left tackle. His frame is a little high-cut and could still fill out its lower half, but Brown possesses prototypical physical traits, including arms measuring anywhere from 33 7/8" (Combine) to 34 3/4" (Senior Bowl) depending on the source. Brown flashes a quick slide in pass protection, but his footwork is a work in progress. He lacks the explosive kick step to protect his outside shoulder consistently, and his foot speed and limited range put him at risk on an island. Kansas gave him some wide splits to help him match wide-alignments rushers. Brown lacks the agility and twitch to mirror elite rushers. He frames blocks well with powerful hands that arrest defenders and lock them down for the remainder of the play. The Michigan native uses his strikes and clamps to win early in the play and prevent the pass rusher from building speed. His strike timing, power, and aggression toward the defender’s hands set a strong foundation for his hand usage. He already knows several counters to break long-arms and deploys a snatch-trap. Brown overextends to initiate contact, which disrupts his balance. He occasionally clicks his heels in pass protection or narrows his base going into contact, softening his shoulders and making it easier for defenders to disrupt his balance. Brown plays with a high pad level and doesn’t sink low enough when attempting to anchor. He oversets and struggles to close the B-gap. His recognition of stunts and blitzes is still developing. The former five-star recruit plays with a great aggressive mentality. He finds extra work in pass protection, punishing 3-techs with powerful body blows. Brown uses his core strength and flexibility to torque defenders out of gaps in the run game. His leg drive, arm length, and overall size make him a people mover on the ground. He washes away defenders on down blocks and drives 5-techs toward the sideline to open the B-gap. Brown’s power flashes on pulls for gap runs, and he showcases good speed at the second level. He hunts pancake blocks and plays through the whistle with a mean streak. Brown generates inconsistent displacement against 4-3 defensive ends and sometimes falls off blocks while attempting to generate vertical displacement. He moves well but lacks the elite speed and burst to make every block at the second level.

Overall, Brown’s inexperience shows up in some questionable in-game mistakes and his unrefined technique, but he possesses tremendous physical upside that might be maximized at guard early in his career as his football education continues. Brown’s ceiling makes him a developmental prospect with future starting potential at tackle.
