The New York Giants recently hosted Utah offensive tackle Caleb Lomu for a pre-draft visit at their training facility. Lomu, a redshirt sophomore, emerged as a standout player for the Utes in 2025, earning Freshman All-American and First-team All-Big 12 honors after allowing just 17 pressures and two sacks.

Why it matters

The Giants hold the 5th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, and Lomu could be a potential late first-round target as they look to bolster their offensive line depth and explore positional versatility, even if he may not be an immediate plug-and-play starter.

The details

Lomu, a 6-foot-6, 313-pound offensive tackle, started 24 consecutive games at left tackle to close out his college career at Utah. He is considered an intriguing prospect with a skill set that, if developed properly, could result in him becoming a starting left tackle in the NFL. Lomu shared a photo of the pre-draft visit on his Instagram story on April 14, 2026.

What they’re saying

“Lomu is an intriguing prospect with a skill set that, if developed properly, could result in the 6-foot-6, 313-pounder becoming a starting left tackle in the league. He's not necessarily a plug-and-play lineman, so it'd be interesting to see if the Giants view him as someone who can kick inside to guard.”
