Antonio Berry

Physical Profile

Listed at 6-5, 300 lbs. Taller than 77% and heavier than 77% of 2027 Interior Offensive Line prospects in the SEC Scouts database (26 with a listed size).

Play Style

Berry plays like a mobile lineman who wins with movement more than pure power. His agility shows up in quick sets out of his stance, the ability to mirror rushers, and range when climbing to linebackers or pulling across the formation. At left tackle he has handled the most demanding pass-protection spot for a 7A contender. Evaluators see his game fitting the interior best, where short, quick movements and leverage matter more than length. The film and camp results show a smooth, coordinated big man. His next step is adding the violent hands and finishing strength that separate good college guards from great ones.

Strengths

• Unusual agility for a 300-pounder. His elite shuttle times and his Rivals Camp MVP award show he can redirect in space, which matters for pulling, second-level blocks and handling stunts.
• Starting experience at left tackle plus an interior projection. This makes him a true multi-position lineman, which gives a college staff depth options and lets him compete at several spots.
• Proven against top competition. He has started three varsity seasons in Mississippi Class 7A (2024 state champion, 2025 runner-up), earned an Under Armour All-American selection and performed well in one-on-ones at elite camps.
• College-ready size. At about 300 pounds he can hold up physically early and focus his first year on technique and strength rather than adding weight.

Areas to Improve

• Arm length and matching up with long edge rushers. If he stays at tackle, he will need precise hand placement, timing and a strong set point to make up for below-ideal length against SEC edge rushers. That same question is why most evaluators expect him to move to guard.
• Getting used to interior play. A move inside means faster reactions, handling bigger nose tackles head-on, and learning combination blocks and interior pass-protection communication, which differ from what a high school left tackle mostly sees.
• Adding functional strength. A college weight program should help him anchor better against power rushers and finish blocks consistently at the point of attack.

College Projection

He will most likely start at Ole Miss as a guard, with tackle and possibly center as backup options. His size means he could compete for playing time early. A realistic path is rotation work and depth snaps as a true freshman, with a strong chance to start by his second or third year once his strength and technique catch up to his athleticism. Players who can cover several line spots also tend to become game-day backups early, which should get him on the field.

NFL Outlook

He has legitimate Day 2 NFL Draft potential as an interior lineman if his strength develops. NFL teams value guards and centers who test well at 300-plus pounds and can play multiple spots. His agility testing should hold up at a future combine. His arm length probably limits his NFL projection at tackle, so his most likely pro path is guard or center. Moving up from there would depend on becoming a dominant multi-year SEC starter.

Best Fit

An outside-zone or wide-zone running scheme that asks linemen to move laterally, reach defenders and climb to the second level, paired with a tempo spread passing game that uses quick sets. Ole Miss's up-tempo offense fits well, and staying close to home avoids the development risk of a distant move. His best position is guard, with the option to fill in at tackle.
