As a true freshman in 2023, he started all 13 games at left tackle, allowing just 2.0 sacks and earning first-team Freshman All-American honors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Fano followed with first-team All-Big 12 selections in 2024 and 2025, capping his senior season as the Outland Trophy winner, Polynesian College Football Player of the Year, and a unanimous All-American.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Scouts praise Fano&#8217;s high-level athleticism, quick feet, and loose hips, which allow him to mirror rushers effectively and excel in move-based blocking schemes. His NFL comparison is to Minnesota Vikings tackle Brian O&#8217;Neill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">While he possesses strong hand quickness and run-blocking experience, areas for development include adding core strength and improving pad level to sustain blocks against NFL power.<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">With three years of starting experience at both tackle spots, Fano projects as a potential early-round pick capable of becoming a solid NFL starter.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"gnt_em_cp_cw_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1775130248_158_86373428007-square-1.jpg\" data-gl- decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April 2, 2026, 6:06 a.m. ET The New York Giants are hosting Utah offensive tackle Spencer Fano on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":144967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[679,9,11,10,1941,1942,27744,948,950,930,932,3712,1328,4080,949,682],"class_list":{"0":"post-183311","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-new-york-headlines","11":"tag-new-york-news","12":"tag-sstssportsnflgiants","13":"tag-sstsngiants","14":"tag-tag2026-nfl-draft","15":"tag-tagamerican-football","16":"tag-tagnational-sports","17":"tag-tagnew-york-giants","18":"tag-tagnfl","19":"tag-tagnfl-draft","20":"tag-tagoverall-positive","21":"tag-tagsmg-timely","22":"tag-tagsports-news","23":"tag-typestory"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183311"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183311\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/144967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
