Draft Profile: Bio
Delmar Glaze, an offensive tackle from Maryland, has consistently demonstrated his capabilities on the field through a solid collegiate career. Starting his journey in Charlotte, North Carolina, at West Mecklenburg High School, Glaze overcame significant challenges, including two ACL injuries during his high school years. Despite these setbacks, he showcased his resilience and talent, earning All-Conference honors as a senior. His performance led to a scholarship at Maryland, where he redshirted his first year in 2020.

During his time with the Terrapins, Glaze quickly developed into a reliable starter, first seeing significant playtime in 2021 with six starts across both tackle positions. By 2022, he had cemented his role, starting all 13 games, predominantly at right tackle, and received an Honorable Mention All-Big Ten selection. In 2023, he transitioned to left tackle, starting all 13 games and earning Third Team All-Big Ten honors, underscoring his adaptability and skill at protecting the quarterback's blind side.

Glaze's college career totals include 40 games played with 32 starts: 17 at right tackle and 15 at left tackle. His academic commitment was equally notable, earning him Academic All-Big Ten recognition. His senior year culminated in an invitation to the Reese’s Senior Bowl.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Wingspan of nearly seven feet, Glaze effectively uses his length to gain leverage and control against opponents.
  • Exhibits strong hands and grip strength, enabling him to maintain control over defenders once engaged.
  • Displays impressive footwork and mobility, essential for effective pass sets and maintaining balance.
  • Capable of handling speed and power on the edge, thanks to his refined technique and strategic hand use.
  • Shows strong potential in both pass protection and run blocking, leveraging his body effectively.
  • Responsive to on-field changes, able to adapt quickly to opponents' movements and techniques.
  • Super smart guy with a strong understanding of the game, further evidenced by his instinctual play.
  • Proven durability and versatility, having started in multiple positions along the offensive line.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Sometimes struggles with inside moves, needing to improve his reaction to defenders crossing his face.
  • Lacks the ideal core strength expected of a top-tier NFL offensive lineman, impacting his base blocking ability.
  • Needs to develop a more aggressive approach in contact situations to enhance his blocking impact.
  • Occasionally overextends in pass protection, which savvy rushers can exploit for inside access.
  • While his mobility is a strength, he must enhance his consistency in space to be more effective as a puller.
Scouting Report: Summary
Delmar Glaze presents as a technically sound prospect whose transition to the NFL could be smooth, thanks to his versatile experience at both tackle spots. His ability to adapt to different roles and maintain a solid anchor in pass protection makes him an asset. However, his challenges with handling power and explosive movements might limit his effectiveness at the next level.

Despite possessing most of the physical traits requisite in an NFL tackle, Glaze needs to refine his approach to handling speed on the edge and power through the middle. His proclivity for over-setting could be exploited by savvy rushers, demanding further development in his footwork and hand placement. A possible inside move to guard might allow him to capitalize on his strengths while mitigating the impact of his weaknesses in space and against elite speed.

Overall, Glaze's draft stock should reflect a prospect with a high floor in pass protection, and a lower-than-ideal ceiling, complemented by the versatility to potentially kick inside if needed. His technical proficiency and intelligent play suggest he could contribute early in his career, especially in schemes that emphasize quick passing and zone blocking.

The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
