1. D’Andre Townes-Blues: The 6’5", 315-pound offensive tackle started all 12 games at left tackle. He powered Jackson State to a total of 403.0 total yards per game and 213.7 rushing yards per game. With Townes on the field, Jackson State was the second highest offense in the SWAC while allowing 21 sacks over 14 games last season. At the end of the 2024 season, he earned First Team All-SWAC, was named to the All-HBCU team, and was ranked as one of the top returning linemen in FCS. Not only that, Townes was one of the main reasons that the Tigers won the SWAC Championship and Cricket Celebration Bowl.

2. Ashton Grable/Charles Davis: Grable, a 6’4", 315-pound redshirt senior tackle, started all 12 games in 2024. He contributed to FAMU's 383.1 total yards per game and 145.0 rushing yards per game. Even though the Rattlers' offensive linemen gave up 26 sacks, Grable still earned First-Team All-SWAC and All-HBCU Team honors. Grable's versatility and strength make him a huge prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft.

Davis, a 6’5", 330-pound redshirt, started 11 games for FAMU in 2024. Davis's run-blocking helped FAMU average 4.0 yards per carry, and his consistent protection earned him First-Team All-SWAC. In 2023, both Grable and Davis helped FAMU claim the SWAC East Title, SWAC Championship, and Celebration Bowl.

3. Ronald Brown started 11 games for Alcorn State Braves. With Brown on the field, Alcorn allowed only one sack. His strength and leadership helped Alcorn rack up over 360 yards per game last season. Brown helped pave the way for Jacorian Swell to rack up 810 yards and five touchdowns, which earned him First-Team All-SWAC.

4. Desmand Daniels, offensive tackle for Alabama State, started all games in 2024. He only gave up one sack over 466 snaps. He paved the way for Alabama to rush for 2,372 rushing yards, including four 200-yard games.
