Sat Apr 26 23:30:00 UTC 2025: **Texas Longhorns Center Jake Majors Poised for NFL Draft Success**
AUSTIN, TX – Jake Majors, the most experienced offensive lineman in Texas Longhorns history, is projected to be selected in the 2025 NFL Draft. The veteran center, a former high school All-American, boasts an impressive five-year starting streak (56 consecutive games) and a reputation for exceptional football intelligence.
Majors, originally recruited as a tackle, transitioned to center and excelled. His 504 pass-blocking snaps last season resulted in zero sacks and only one quarterback hit allowed. While some scouts question his ability to consistently move larger NFL defensive linemen, his strength, athleticism, and exceptional ability to read and react to defensive fronts are considered major assets. He consistently demonstrates solid coordination and balance, leveraging his frame effectively.
His accolades include being a Campbell Trophy finalist, Joe Moore Award finalist and semifinalist, and recipient of the Outland Trophy Player of the Week and SEC Co-Lineman of the Week awards. He played a crucial role in the success of the Longhorns’ running game, paving the way for several NFL draft picks, including Bijan Robinson.
Despite concerns about his length and run-blocking against larger opponents, Majors’ high football IQ and proven pass-protection skills make him a valuable prospect. NFL teams are likely to see him as a savvy player with the potential to exceed expectations.
