Pregnon is a phone-booth mauler who buries defenders through the whistle and sets the tone for the entire offensive line with his physicality. His anchor is among the best in the class, and when he locks onto you in the run game, the rep is over — he displaces defenders with torque through his hips and shock in his massive hands. The limitations are real but narrow: hip stiffness creates soft edges when twitchy interior rushers cross his face, and his 5.21 forty confirms he won't win any foot races. But 3,100+ career snaps across three programs, an 88.4 PFF grade, and elite combine explosion numbers (35-inch vert, 9'3" broad at 314 lbs) point to a plug-and-play Day 1 starter whose floor is the highest of any guard in this class.
- Elite lower-body power and anchor — absorbs bull rushes and displaces defenders on contact with violent hip torque
- Outstanding run blocker who creates movement on base blocks, doubles, and second-level climbs with consistent forward drive
- Exceptional durability and experience: 3,100+ snaps across three programs with zero sacks allowed in 2025 and only one in 1,500+ pass-pro snaps over three seasons
- Nasty, enforcing temperament — finishes through the whistle and brings a physicality that elevates the entire unit
- Advanced pass-protection IQ with quick stunt/twist recognition and efficient hand placement to reclaim reps after losing initial contact
- Hip stiffness creates late reactions and awkward recovery angles against interior defenders who win with quickness across his face
- Below-average foot speed (5.21 forty) limits range as a move blocker and leads to block leakage against slants and twists
- Forward lean and overaggression in the run game invite swim-move counters from savvy defenders who use his momentum against him
- Older prospect (six college seasons) who will be a Day 1 rookie with a compressed development timeline
Similar profile: massive, powerful guard who dominates at the point of attack with elite play strength and anchor, but whose athletic limitations restrict him to a pure guard role. Both are plug-and-play starters with high floors but capped ceilings due to lateral mobility. Thorn's B/R comp list explicitly includes Torrence (7.5 in 2023).
