The 2022 NFL season is still a few months away, but it’s never too soon to look ahead to the upcoming NFL Draft. The Raiders are scheduled to have all of their picks in 2023 and the expectation is that they will address their offensive line.
But what offensive line prospects should fans of the Raiders keep an eye on during the college football season?
In a recent article by Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report, he named a few players that the Raiders could target in the 2023 NFL Draft.
One of those players is none other than USC offensive tackle Andrew Vorhees, who has played multiple positions on the offensive line for the Trojans. Here is what Ballentine had to say about Vorhees and his potential fit with the Raiders:
“Andrew Vorhees is looking like a good fit for the USC Trojans heading into the college football season. The 6’6″, 320-pounder started his career at left guard but has since bumped out to left tackle.
The transition was a smooth one. He only gave up one sack last season and played over 400 snaps at tackle, per PFF. This year, he’ll have the opportunity to play a whole season on the outside in Lincoln Riley’s explosive offense.
Whether Vorhees ends up as a guard or tackle in the league, the Raiders should be keeping a close eye on him throughout the season.”
Vorhees is an older offensive line prospect, but he’s got a ton of experience as he’s been with the Trojans since the 2017 season. He’ll likely have to play guard or right tackle in the NFL, but that is perfect for the Raiders with Kolton Miller locked in at left tackle.
Keep an eye on Vorhees during the 2022 college football season as he could certainly be a target for the Raiders in Round 1.
