#30 – North Carolina A&T OT Brandon Parker

There are quite a few small school prospects to watch among the offensive lineman this year. The Aggies 6-foot-7, 303-pound offensive tackle is one of them. Parker was named the MEAC Offensive Lineman of the Year in back-to-back seasons at North Carolina A&T and has received some fourth-round grades, according to Walter Football’s Charlie Campbell

#29 – Washington C Coleman Shelton

The Huskies 6-foot-4, 299-pound prospect has experience playing tackle, guard, and center. Shelton started every game at center for Washington over the past two seasons and was named first-team All-Pac-12 in 2017. Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller lists him as the seventh best center in this year’s draft class.

#28 – UCLA C Scott Quessenberry

The Bruins 6-foot-3, 314-pound center started 44 games during his collegiate career and could be a mid-to-late-round draft selection with upside potential. Quessenberry received mixed reviews for his play at the Senior Bowl. ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper lists him as the sixth best center in this year’s class.

#27 – N.C. State OT Will Richardson

Richardson’s biggest question marks come off the gridiron. But on the field, the 6-foot-6, 322-pound offensive tackle earned second-team All-ACC honors and didn’t surrender a sack in 2017, according to WITN.

Kiper lists the Wolfpack offensive tackle as the tenth best prospect at the tackle position in this year’s class.

#26 – Idaho State OG Skyler Phillips

The Bengals 6-foot-2, 314-pound prospect is surely one to keep an eye on this draft season. Miller labels Phillips the “biggest sleeper” among guard prospects and lists him as the seventh best player at his position.

He earned first-team all-conference honors in the Big Sky as a fifth-year senior after receiving a medical redshirt in 2016. Phillips has experience playing both guard and tackle and told teams at the Senior Bowl that he plans to continue to prove his doubters wrong, via New York’s team website.

"“There’s a dual fold chip on my shoulder that began from my early recruitment process from high school when I was basically told I wasn’t good enough by a big school that offered me. From there on out showing that Big Sky guys are there for a game. If you go back and look at the film I feel my best games were against FBS opponents so I feel like it was my time to shine. I look forward to taking that same chip and carrying it throughout the week.”"
