He is ranked as the No. 123 overall prospect and the No. 7 offensive guard.
Jackson Slater NFL Draft Profile
Slater played four seasons at Sac State and was a starter for all four, going back to his true freshman season in 2021. He started mostly at left guard with a couple of games of experience at left tackle.
Slater was a multi-year All-American and a three-time First Team All-Big Sky selection.
Last season, Slater’s 76.4 overall PFF grade ranked No. 5 among FCS offensive guards.
Slater has great upper-body power and strong hands. He showed off that strength at the combine, posting 31 reps on the bench press, which ranked No. 2 among offensive linemen there. If Slater can continue to hone his craft under NFL coaching, he can crack a starting lineup early in his career. There have been a number of FCS offensive line prospects who earned starting roles as rookies, and Slater could be another on that list.
