\"BrunoBruno Onwuazor, OT, Virginia State | 2026 NFL Draft Prospect Zoom Interview<\/p>\n

Virginia State\u2019s massive offensive lineman Bruno Onwuazor has emerged as one of the top HBCU prospects<\/a> this season. A two-time All-CIAA First Team selection and the 2024 CIAA Offensive Lineman of the Year, he has been a reliable, multi-year starter at left tackle, anchoring the Trojans<\/a>\u2019 offensive line for more than three seasons. His ascent is particularly unique\u2014beginning as a walk-on at Maryland with minimal football experience before transferring to Virginia State, where he steadily refined his game and grew into one of the CIAA\u2019s most accomplished linemen through consistent, durable, high-level play.<\/p>\n

From a physical standpoint, Onwuazor possesses elite, NFL-caliber measurables that immediately capture the attention of evaluators. Standing near 6-foot-8 with an 86-inch wingspan and nearly 36-inch arms, he offers rare length, extension, and pass-protection upside at the tackle position. His basketball background is evident in his balance, foot quickness, and overall body control for a player of his size. Having transitioned to American football after moving from Nigeria roughly a decade ago, he continues to display strong coachability, adaptability, and a natural aptitude for the game. His combination of exceptional physical tools, proven production, and continued technical development makes him an intriguing long-term developmental prospect with significant potential at the next level. Onwuazor is expected to participate in this season\u2019s HBCU Legacy Bowl<\/a> on February 21, 2006 at Yulman Stadium in New Orleans, LA.<\/p>\n
