Logan Jones

● Athletic mover; keeps his hips and feet on the same page ● Terrific on the move to spear defenders and drive them from the ball ● Easily intersects and occupies on climbs, combos and pulls ● Was allowed to run the show and make checks at the line ● Can torque and turn defenders in the hole ● Gets underneath rushers to hop and answer power with leverage ● Refits his hands quickly and efficiently for recoveries in pass pro ● Finished career going 17 straight games without a penalty ● Throws plates around with ease in weight room (holds Iowa record with a 700-pound squat) ● Rugged demeanor and hates coming off the field ● High-intangibles kid (NFL scout: “Pushes himself to the max. … I wish all our guys loved the grind like he does.”) ● Started 51 games over past four seasons

● Undersized, with short arms and a maxed-out build ● Below-average sustain strength to keep powerful defensive tackles contained ● Drive block execution versus NFL size will be a different challenge ● Can get a tad wild when fitting out in space ● Anchor breaks down versus bull rushers, who use sheer force to push him into the pocket ● 100 percent of college snaps came at center — doesn’t offer any position flex ● Aggravated a left knee injury (from eighth grade) during 2021 spring practices that required surgery (April 2021), which sidelined him for most of the 2021 season; missed one game as junior (Nov. 2023) and underwent labrum surgery after the season (Jan. 2024), which caused him to miss 2024 spring practices; missed bowl game his senior year because of right-hand injury (Dec. 2024)

A four-year starter at Iowa, Jones was a fixture at center (right-handed snapper) in offensive coordinator Tim Lester’s zone-blocking scheme. After enrolling as a 260-pound defensive tackle, he made the transition to center and admirably filled Tyler Linderbaum’s shoes. He gave up only one sack over his junior and senior seasons and had a prolific 2025 season, taking home the Rimington Trophy as the nation’s top center. He was a significant factor in the Hawkeyes winning the 2025 Joe Moore Award as college football’s best offensive line. Jones is lightning quick in his snap-to-step process and has an instinctive feel for leverage and blocking angles. With his vise-grip hands, he can latch, drive his feet and torque defenders to create running room. Though he has terrific range and recovery quickness, his lack of length stands out on reach blocks and when attempting to combat powerful defensive tackles in a phone booth. His competitive temperament and toughness are unquestioned — he taught himself to snap with his left hand while managing a right-hand injury in 2024. Overall, Jones is an undersized, sawed-off blocker with aggressive technique and athletic ability, although his sustain struggles might be tough to overcome. A center-only prospect, he is a mid-round version of Linderbaum. 312 Back to table of contents -- 316 of 629 --
