It is never too early to evaluate offensive line depth for the 2026 NFL Draft. General manager Jason Licht has consistently prioritized tackle depth, and with contracts and long-term stability always in play, developmental swing tackles remain an important part of roster construction. Identifying linemen who can handle true tackle snaps in the SEC is a strong starting point in evaluation.
We are working through each position group this cycle. With that in mind, here is our report on Auburn offensive lineman Izavion Miller.
Information
School: AuburnConference: SECPosition: Offensive LineHeight Weight: 6-5, 318 poundsClass: JuniorHometown: Memphis, Tennessee
Background
Izavion Miller arrived at Auburn as a junior college transfer from Southwest Mississippi Community College. A highly regarded JUCO prospect, he earned NJCAA All-Region 23 honors and First Team All-MACCC recognition in 2022. He was widely viewed as one of the top junior college offensive tackles in the country before joining the Tigers.
In 2023, Miller stepped into the starting right tackle role against UMass and never relinquished it, starting every game there. His size and length immediately stood out, and he quickly became a full-time contributor in SEC competition.
Miller has primarily aligned at right tackle during his Auburn career, showing durability and consistency in availability.

At 6-5 and 318 pounds, Miller brings ideal NFL tackle size. He has the build teams look for in developmental tackle prospects, particularly at right tackle. In the run game, he shows the ability to generate movement when his pad level is consistent and can seal lanes effectively on the edge.
In pass protection, Miller’s performance has been inconsistent. His 2025 pass blocking grade dipped compared to 2024, and his pressure totals reflect that he can be stressed by speed and counter moves. His anchor is serviceable, but his hand placement and timing require refinement to handle higher-end edge rushers.
What stands out is experience. He has logged heavy SEC snap volume at right tackle, which provides a meaningful evaluation sample against NFL-caliber competition.
Player Summary
Izavion Miller projects as a late Day 3 selection or priority undrafted free agent with developmental right tackle upside. His frame and SEC experience will draw interest, but pass protection consistency will be the determining factor in his draft stock.
In Tampa Bay, Miller would profile as a developmental swing tackle candidate competing for depth behind established starters. If his pass protection mechanics improve, he has the size and baseline strength to earn a reserve role while developing long term.
