Background

Chase Bisontis grew up in Ramsey, New Jersey, and attended Don Bosco Prep, where he earned MaxPreps All-America honors as a sophomore and helped lead the team to a state championship appearance. A four-star recruit ranked the No. 1 interior offensive lineman and No. 47 overall player nationally in the 2023 class, he committed to Texas A&M. The Athletic's Bruce Feldman twice named him to his Freaks List. He started all 13 games as a true freshman in 2023 at right tackle after injuries reshuffled the offensive line, earning ESPN Freshman All-America and SEC All-Freshman Team honors. As a sophomore in 2024, he transitioned to left guard, played in 10 games before a lower leg injury sidelined him for three, and was instrumental in an offensive line that supported a rushing attack averaging 195.5 yards per game, second in the SEC. He returned for his junior year in 2025 and started every game at left guard, logging a career-high 795 snaps and earning Third-Team All-SEC. He declared for the 2026 NFL Draft as a junior.

Physical Attributes

Bisontis is an elite athlete. His arms lack a little length, and his hands a little size, but it does not seem to matter much. He makes up for any small deficiency with speed and explosiveness. His lower-body power gives him a great base to work with in pass protection and helps him drive in the run game. I mean, the man squatted 705. His lateral agility also makes it easy to recover on plays and cover more space than you think he could.

Data and Tape Analysis

That looks like a very mediocre radar chart. Nothing is too far towards the end, and the run blocking in particular looks poor. After watching the tape, I will not say this chart outright lies, but I will say it obfuscates the talents of the player hidden beneath it.

One thing this does not show is Bisontis' level of compete. He plays to the whistle on every snap and is looking to hit defenders, and hit them hard. He knows what he is doing is not supposed to be easy, but does it with such relish and joy for the task at hand that it gives him that little extra edge on plays.

Bisontis also loves looking for work. Unlike other players who needlessly ping-pong from one block to the next, there is nuance to Bisontis' game. He seems to have the preternatural ability to tell exactly when it is time to cut bait and move to the next block. Whether on a handoff to a teammate, a double team, or even sensing danger coming from the outside, Bisontis seems to feel it really well. Add to that his incredible natural lateral agility, and he can not only sense those dangers but get out there to do something about it.

In the passing game, when he is in close quarters, there is not much to worry about. He might lose, but he does it so slowly that nothing will come of it. The only worry is when the defender can keep him at a distance or get into his chest early where they can attack a weak shoulder and have Bisontis' scrambling. Compared to most, his scramble looks good because his quick feet never unbalance him, and he can reset his base instantaneously.

I wish he had more power in the run game, but given he's not even 22 yet and has had those bench reps, coaches can refine his technique to better align his lower and upper body to create more drive. That's in close quarters though, because when he has picked up a head of steam in space, some players decide to make a business decision.

Grade and Outlook

Chase Bisontis is a young but still very experienced guard. Playing three years at the SEC level and getting to where he is shows a lot of current ability. The athletic testing shows an upside potential well beyond where he already is. I think he could easily be a top-ten guard in the league, but if he never marries his athleticism to his actual play, he might struggle to be more than average.

Grade: 6.0 (2nd Rounder)
