Background

Wyatt Milum was a highly sought-after 4-star recruit and a consensus top-100 prospect in the 2021 recruiting class. Hailing from Kenova, West Virginia, Milum was the highest-rated prospect in the state, and his decision to play for his hometown Mountaineers was an easy one.

From the moment Milum stepped onto the field as a true freshman, he quickly became one of the most dominant and consistent offensive linemen in college football, earning Freshman All-American honors as a right tackle. As a sophomore, he transitioned to left tackle, where he excelled for the next three seasons. Since making the switch, Milum has been remarkably effective, allowing no sacks and just one quarterback hit—an impressive feat for any offensive lineman.

After a solid junior campaign in 2023, where he earned All-Big 12 Second-Team honors, Milum truly elevated his game as a senior in 2024. He posted a 92.6 pass-blocking grade, the highest in the country, while his overall grade (91.1) and run-blocking grade (89.7) ranked third and fifth, respectively. His dominant play earned him Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year honors and consensus First-Team All-American recognition.

Milum’s impressive blend of size, athleticism, and toughness has made him one of the most coveted prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. With four years of starting experience and a consistently high level of play, Milum has established himself as one of the top offensive linemen in this class, supported by his competitive spirit and technical prowess.

Strengths

• Run Blocking: Milum dominates as a run blocker, using explosive power, solid pad level, and leg drive to open up lanes in both man and zone schemes.
• Athleticism for Size: At 6'6" and 317 pounds, Milum is impressively agile and can make any block.
• Quick Pass Sets: Milum uses quick feet, a strong punch, and active hands to neutralize speed rushers and counter moves with an anchor that stands up against power rushers.
• Versatility: Milum has extensive experience at both tackle positions, and his skill set will allow him to play in any scheme. 
• High Competitiveness: Milum consistently plays with a chip on his shoulder, finishing blocks and competing through every snap.
• Football IQ: Milum’s high football IQ allows him to anticipate stunts/twists and make adjustments quickly
• Grip Strength: Milum’s excellent grip strength allows him to control defenders and win in both pass protection and the run game.

Weaknesses

• Limited True Pass Sets: His experience in a run-heavy offense means Milum has had limited opportunities in true pass-blocking situations, leaving some questions about his ability to handle a pass-heavy NFL offense.
• Pad Level: Milum occasionally plays too upright, which can lead to balance issues and struggles against quicker defenders.
• Lateral Movement: Milum's lateral quickness can be a concern when facing edge rushers who excel at changing direction quickly.
• Footwork on Second Level: While Milum can reach the second level, his footwork can become inconsistent when working to engage linebackers or safeties at full speed.
