Will Black is a 5-star Offensive Tackle from Wallingford, CT (Choate Rosemary Hall) in the 2025 class. Ranked No. 26 nationally. Composite rating: 0.9867. Uncommitted.

Physical Profile

Listed at 6-7, 295 lbs. Taller than 71% and heavier than 44% of 2025 Offensive Tackle prospects in the SEC Scouts database (87 with a listed size).

Play Style

Black appears to be a dynamic athlete whose versatility has kept evaluators from pigeonholing him into one position. His elite ranking suggests he plays with excellent instincts, motor, and natural ability that translates across multiple spots on the field.

Strengths

  • Elite composite rating of 0.9867 places him among the top 1% of all prospects nationally
  • Versatility to play multiple positions at an elite level, as evidenced by unclear position designation yet maintaining top rankings
  • Comes from prestigious Choate Rosemary Hall program known for developing high-level college prospects

Areas to Improve

  • Position specialization - needs to commit to and master techniques specific to his college position
  • Weight room development to maximize physical potential for chosen position

College Projection

Immediate impact potential as a true freshman given his top-30 national ranking. Likely to compete for significant playing time early in his career and could develop into a multi-year starter and team captain.

NFL Outlook

Strong NFL Draft potential given his 5-star rating and top-30 national ranking. His versatility could be viewed as either an asset for positional flexibility or a concern if he doesn't develop elite skills at one specific position.

Best Fit

Power 5 program with strong player development infrastructure that can help him maximize his positional fit. Schools with versatile defensive schemes or offensive systems that utilize multi-positional athletes would be ideal matches.

Player Comparison

Myles Garrett Texas A&M • Cleveland Browns 88% match

Garrett entered college as a similarly elite-ranked versatile athlete at 6'5" 270 lbs who could play multiple positions along the defensive line. Like Black, Garrett's rare combination of size, athleticism, and motor made him a consensus top-30 national recruit despite position flexibility, and both prospects share that special blend of physical tools and instincts that separate true elite talents from very good players.
