Blake Miller is an offensive tackle and 2026 NFL Draft prospect who spent all four seasons of his collegiate career at Clemson University. A native of Strongsville, Ohio, Miller was a four-star recruit who committed to the Tigers over Ohio State and others in the 2022 class. He enrolled early and claimed the starting right tackle job before the season even began, becoming only the fourth true freshman to start on the offensive line for Clemson since 1972. From that first start at Georgia Tech in 2022, Miller did not miss a game, accumulating 54 consecutive starts and 3,778 career offensive snaps that broke Clemson's all-time record for offensive snaps by a non-specialist. He earned Freshman All-American recognition in 2022, third-team All-ACC in 2023, and back-to-back first-team All-ACC honors in 2024 and 2025, adding second-team All-American recognition and team MVP honors in his senior season. His teammates voted him a permanent team captain and his coach praised his leadership and durability throughout a four-year career that never included a missed game or practice.
Standing 6 feet 7 inches and approximately 317 pounds, Miller recorded a 5.04-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine and brings a combination of rare durability, pass-protection refinement, and football intelligence that evaluators find immediately translatable to the professional level. His pass protection sharpened significantly each year in Clemson's system, and his stunt recognition and footwork when mirroring speed off the edge are among the better traits in the class. The primary concern in his evaluation is run blocking, where his pad level tends to ride high and he can struggle to generate the vertical drive and finish against power that NFL teams want from a starting tackle. A move to right tackle or, in some projections, to guard is discussed as a possible long-term adjustment. Most evaluators project him as an early-to-mid Day 2 selection with starting upside and the character profile that NFL organizations consistently seek at the position.
