The Houston Texans enter the final weeks ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft in need of serious help on their offensive line. They've made several questionable moves, including trading away Laremy Tunsil. With that in mind, they are gearing up to draft at least one offensive lineman and are beginning to host top 30 visits.
The Texans are hosting William & Mary offensive lineman Charles Grant to a top 30 visit. Grant was named the FCS National Offensive Lineman of the Year. Lance Zierlein of NFL.com grades Grant as a player that will grow to be an average starter.
"Highly consistent performer with elite length and better technique than many prospects coming from a higher level of competition," Zierlein writes. "Grant played with both urgency and positioning in William & Mary’s zone-heavy approach, but he needs to add bulk and improve his pad level to play with the drive and anchor needed as a pro. The former high school wrestler utilizes a bag of tricks with his protection approach and possesses adequate core strength to absorb a speed-to-power pass rush. He could develop into a solid pro as either a guard or tackle if he cleans up issues with hand usage."

As a Day Three Selection, Grant would be a terrific pick as someone who could come in and push for a starting job as a rookie, especially with the lackluster talent the Texans currently have up front.
