Caleb Lomu

● Light-framed athlete and spry out of his stance ● Above-average lateral quickness and adequate balance in his pass sets ● Patiently reacts to rush counters ● Recovers well because of nimble redirect skills and body control ● Able to reset his hands to stay attached without losing his footing ● Showcases fantastic range and timing on GT counter and cross-formation pulls ● Stays square on skip-pulls to climb and wall-off linebackers ● Initial quickness gets him to most reach and cut-off blocks ● Processes things quickly in-game — intelligence will serve him well moving forward ● Wasn’t a captain but was voted a member of Utah’s Leadership Council ● Durable — started 24 games straight at left tackle past two seasons

● Underdeveloped play strength and can be rocked off his socks vs. power ● Good-enough length but full extension is more speed bump than brick wall ● Doesn’t consistently fire off the ball in run game and can get knocked back ● Will accelerate into defensive backs as puller but doesn’t show same aggressiveness against linebackers and linemen ● Needs to mature footwork and technique on double teams ● Too much of a catcher and inconsistent punch timing, leaving him in compromised positions ● Inconsistent pass-pro landmarks, inviting inside moves (see 2025 Texas Tech tape) ● Flagged for holding three times in 2025 ● Aside from a few unbalanced looks, doesn’t have much experience besides left tackle

A two-year starter at Utah, Lomu was the left tackle in former offensive coordinator Jason Beck’s run-focused, RPO-based scheme. After redshirting and developing his body in 2023, he took over the Utes’ blindside duties the past two seasons and earned first-team All-Big 12 honors in 2025 (zero sacks allowed). Spencer Fano shifted from left tackle to right tackle once Lomu entered the starting lineup. Lomu is an above-average athlete, which shows both in pass protection and the run game. He has consistent snap timing, with the mirror quickness to stay in front of wide speed and the body control to catch his balance and recover. In the run game, he explodes out of his stance to cover ground and fit on targets, both backside and out in space. However, he struggled to play with consistent aggression or leg drive as a run blocker — NFL power will be eye-opening for him. Scouts are also concerned with the lack of high-level edge rushers he faced in 2025 (his Texas Tech tape was a shaky performance and showed his youth). Overall, Lomu must get stronger and continue to develop his technique and grit, but NFL teams are understandably intrigued by his movement ability and ready-to-cultivate left tackle skill set. His upside points to him becoming an NFL starter.
