Clemson Tigers tackle Blake Miller has received a major draft prediction.
Clemson Tigers offensive tackle Blake Miller is one of the top linemen in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft.
Miller started 54 games for the Tigers, playing well at the right tackle position. NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah ranked Miller as the 19th-ranked prospect in the draft.
Tackle is a premium position in the NFL, and Miller could fly off the board early in the 2026 draft.
Different teams value the tackle position differently. Every season, a tackle that is ranked lower in mock drafts and rankings jumps up as a team values the player more for their scheme.
That could cause Miller to go early in the first round, but he could fall to the second round of the draft.
The other top tackles on the board include Monroe Freeling, Francis Mauigoa, Spencer Fano, Max Iheanachor, Caleb Lomu, and Kadyn Proctor.
Miller has the size and strength to be a productive tackle at the next level, including against fast edge rushers.

In 2025, Clemson went just 7-6, failing to make it to the ACC Title Game and missing out on the College Football Playoff.
Entering the year, the Tigers were predicted to be one of the top teams in college football, competing for the National Championship.
Head coach Dabo Swinney has a lot of work to do to yield better results from the roster in 2026. Swinney was more aggressive in adding players through the transfer portal, something he had been hesitant to do in the past.
However, with Clemson's underwhelming 2025 campaign, it was clear that changes were needed. Swinney's changes didn't stop with the roster; he fired offensive coordinator Garrett Riley and brought in Chad Morris to replace him.
Swinney also added Rich Bisaccia as the new special teams coordinator. He is leaning on the experience of Morris and Bisaccia to help the team get back to contention.
The Tigers have an uphill climb to compete for a National Championship in 2026, especially with talented players like Miller headed off to the NFL Draft.
