Draft Profile: Bio
From undersized two-star recruit to multi-year starter at UConn, Chase Lundt's journey exemplifies the developmental arc many NFL teams seek in Day 3 prospects. The Arlington, Texas native earned his spot as a team captain at Martin High School before heading northeast to Connecticut, where he would transform his frame and technique over five seasons. After redshirting in 2019 and losing 2020 to COVID, Lundt locked down the right tackle spot in 2021 and never looked back, starting 36 games over three seasons.The 6'8", 305-pound tackle became a cornerstone for the Huskies' offensive renaissance, anchoring a line that finished top-10 nationally in sacks allowed (1.00 per game) in 2023. His development was particularly evident in the run game, where he helped power an attack that averaged over 191 yards per game in 2022, good for 33rd in the nation. The improvement didn't go unnoticed, as Lundt earned Second Team All-Independent honors in 2022 before elevating to First Team status in 2023.
Despite facing an injury setback against Clemson in 2021, Lundt's durability has been remarkable, logging nearly 3,000 offensive snaps with all but three coming at right tackle. His senior season garnered attention from both the Senior Bowl and East-West Shrine Bowl committees, validating his rise from modest recruiting rankings to legitimate NFL prospect.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Exceptional lateral mobility for his height, showing quick-twitch ability to mirror speed rushers and maintain leverage in outside zone concepts
- Displays impressive range when pulling or climbing to the second level, consistently reaching landmarks with controlled footwork and balance
- Natural knee bend and ankle flexibility allow him to maintain leverage despite his towering frame, particularly evident in pass protection
- Quick processor against stunts and twists, showing advanced mental processing to pick up late movement and communicate assignments
- Consistently keeps his feet active through contact, demonstrating proper technique to sustain blocks and finish through the whistle
- Shows surprising core strength when torquing defenders out of gaps, particularly effective against smaller edge players
- Clean technical foundation in pass protection with proper weight distribution and refined kick-slide technique
- Minimal penalties despite high snap count indicates disciplined play and proper understanding of positioning
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Lean frame limits pure power potential, particularly evident when facing bull rushes from more physically developed defensive ends
- Struggles to maintain leverage against inside counter moves, showing tendency to overset and create vulnerability in the B-gap
- Hand placement becomes erratic under pressure, too often landing wide and exposing chest to power rushers
- Limited length for his height creates challenges in pass protection, forcing him to win with technique rather than natural tools
- Occasional tendency to duck head into contact against speed rushers, creating balance issues and vulnerability to counter moves
Scouting Report: Summary
A fascinating study in development potential, Lundt profiles as an ideal fit for zone-heavy schemes that can maximize his movement skills while masking his current power limitations. His combination of size, athleticism, and technical refinement suggests significant upside if he can add functional mass without sacrificing his impressive mobility.NFL teams running outside zone concepts will be particularly intrigued by his ability to reach the edge and execute combination blocks with precision. While he'll need time in an NFL strength program to handle power rushers consistently, his foundation in pass protection and proven durability make him an attractive developmental prospect. Watch for Lundt to gain momentum through the pre-draft process as teams dig deeper into his tape against quality competition.
In the right system, Lundt projects as a swing tackle with starter upside by year two, particularly if he can maintain his exceptional movement skills while adding 10-15 pounds of functional mass. His ceiling will ultimately be determined by his ability to anchor against NFL power, but his floor as a reliable backup makes him a worthwhile investment in the late Day 3 range.
