Kellen Wymer's elite movement skills and frame remind us of Graham Barton at the same stage. Both were twitchy, explosive movers when working to the second level while doubling as defensive linemen. Like Barton, Wymer has the versatility to play multiple spots along the offensive line in college and beyond. 

Elite athlete along the offensive line who looks like one of the best movers among the 2027 interior offensive line prospects. Listed at around 6-foot-5, 270 pounds. Can absolutely move at his size. Excellent when working as a puller and moving to the second level. Has the speed to reach cornerbacks when blocking on screen passes to the outside. A weapon in the run game with his ability to work to the second level. Has quality pop in his hands and works to finish blocks. Also flashes outstanding reactive quickness in pass protection, easily mirroring pass rushers with his explosive lateral agility. Flashes his athleticism as a defensive lineman, as well. Participates in the shot put (43-3 feet) and discus (142 feet) in track and field. Will need to continue adding mass to his frame, but has the upside to be one of the top interior offensive linemen in the cycle with the versatility to play any of the five spots on the front.
