Dane Brugler has Garrett DiGiorgio as his No. 22 guard prospect

Could UCLA Bruins offensive tackle Garrett DiGiorgio hear his name called later this week at the NFL Draft? It’s certainly a possibility for the five-year Bruin, with Dane Brugler of The Athletic viewing DiGiorgio as an option on the inside of an offensive line.

Garrett DiGiorgio will find himself in the UCLA record books

DiGiorgio played a few different roles on the offensive line while with the Bruins. Following spending his first four years at UCLA at right tackle, DiGiorgio moved inside to right guard for the 2025 season. DiGiorgio’s 49 starts are the second-most in UCLA football history, trailing only fellow offensive lineman Jake Brendel’s 52 starts.

You can't miss DiGiorgio at guard

Brugler has DiGiorgio as the No. 259 overall prospect and as the No. 22 guard in the draft. He’d be a big guard, standing at 6’6” and weighing 323 lbs but DiGiorgio could intrigue teams as someone to target on the interior.

DiGiorgio could become a coaching staff darling in training camp

“DiGiorgio is a warrior who will spar with anyone in front of him. His feet and arm length are mediocre for a tackle bit solid for a guard,” Brugler wrote. “His most consistent tape came over the final eight games of the 2025 season, when he kicked inside to right guard.”

There was a lot of offensive line movement in 2025

After 38 career starts at tackle, DiGiorgio jumped inside and didn’t skip a beat at guard. DiGiorgio earned honorable mention on the 2025 All-Big Ten Team. In 2025, DiGiorgio made two starts at left tackle, one at right tackle, before jumping to right guard after DeShaun Foster was fired.
