Garrett

Dellinger

He’ll join an interior line room that has watched Kevin Zeitler and Lloyd Cushenberry miss games over the past month. Dellinger was a seventh-rounder in the 2025 Draft by the Ravens. He might get a look down the stretch as the Titans wrap up the season.

A four-year SEC starter with positional versatility and a rugged demeanor, Garrett Dellinger brings a high floor and scheme flexibility to the next level. Dellinger logged snaps at LT, LG, and C across his LSU career, showcasing functional strength and technical consistency, particularly in pass protection where he allowed just one sack over his final two seasons. Despite lacking ideal length (33” arms) and lateral range, his 9.76 RAS shows a surprisingly strong athletic foundation, especially in explosiveness (32” vert, 9’2” broad). He’s a composed technician who thrives in double teams and short pulls but struggles against longer defenders and late movement. Durability is a concern—he missed 11 games across three seasons, including the back half of 2024 due to ankle surgery. Best fit is in a power/gap scheme where his play strength, mental processing, and blue-collar attitude can shine as a reliable interior depth piece with spot-start potential.

Dellinger (6'6/280) was also seriously considering Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State. As he hails from Clarkston, Michigan, the defending champs swiped the four-star tackle right out of UM’s backyard with this one. Dellinger will need to continue to add bulk as he readies for a collegiate career in the SEC, but he has the frame to hold additional healthy weight and plays with nice footwork and balance. Deceptively nimble. On the 247Sports composite board, Dellinger hits the ground running as the No. 79 overall prospect in the 2021 class.

Dellinger released a teaser video on Twitter, and reaffirmed his final four schools: LSU, Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State. The 6-foot-6, 280-pound tackle is rated the 11th best tackle in the 2021 class, and the fourth best player in the state of Michigan (Clarkson HS) by 247Sports. In their crystal ball projections, they believe that LSU is the favorite to land Dellinger.

Dellinger (6'6/280) hails from Clarkston, Michigan, and has a suitably Big Ten-heavy list of finalists. But those pesky Tigers might actually be in prime pouncing position, here, as all nine of the current predictions in the 247Sports Crystal Ball have the four-star tackle ultimately committing to LSU. Dellinger comes with a basketball background and is a deceptively nimble athlete. He’ll need to continue to add strength for the rigors of collegiate ball, but has the frame to hold additional mass as he matures and possesses NFL upside if he is able to stay on his current developmental path. On the 247Sports composite board, Dellinger slots in as the No. 80 overall prospect for the 2021 cycle.
