Hogs Haven takes a look at 2025 NFL Draft prospects that could contribute to the Commanders
Wyatt Milum, OT
School: West Virginia | Conference: Big 12
College Experience: Senior | Age: 23
Height / Weight: 6’6” / 313 lbs
Projected Draft Status: 2nd-3rd Round
Player Comparison: Braden Smith
West Virginia’s very own Wyatt Milum played both offensive and defensive tackle while in high school in the Mountain State. Milum finished his high school career as one of the state’s best high school prospects ever, named an all-state player three consecutive years and the top prospect in the state. The four-star prospect chose to stay home and play for the Mountaineers instead of accepting offers from the likes of Ohio State, Alabama, Michigan, Georgia, and Penn State.
Milum got right to work once he got on campus. His first year in Morgantown, he played in 12 games, starting eight of those contests at right tackle. In eight of those 12 games, Milum did not give up a sack. This would be a trend for Milum throughout his career. Next year as a sophomore, Milum started 12 games at left tackle. Milum would again not give up a sack in eight of 12 games. In his third season, Milum did not allow a sack and only eight pressures on his way to All-Big 12 honors. For his final year of college football, Milum was named an All-American after not allowing a sack for a second-consecutive year.
The Commanders have been busy remaking their offensive line this offseason. They upgraded the left tackle spot by trading for Laremy Tunsil, adding him to a front that will include Nick Allegretti, Tyler Biadasz, Brandon Coleman, and Andrew Wylie. Swing tackle Cornelius Lucas is gone, but the team signed Nate Herbig and Foster Sarell, and re-signed Trent Scott. If there is a weakness that remains along the line, it may be left guard.
The strengths and weaknesses of Wyatt Milum make him an intriguing long-term option at offensive guard. His game is all about strength and power attributes that teams covet on the interior offensive line. While movement skills are not his best attribute and he shouldn’t be asked to contribute much in an outside zone scheme, he can move and could be an effective puller in a gap scheme. The Commanders already have solutions on the interior in Allegretti, Cosmi when he gets healthy, and either Coleman...
