IND Jalen Farmer
NFL player. Position: OL (Guard/Tackle). Team: IND.
Quick Facts
- Position: Guard/Tackle
- Team: IND (Indianapolis Colts)
- College: Kentucky
- 2026 Draft: Fourth round
2026 Outlook
Fourth-round offensive lineman from Kentucky (6'5", 312 lbs) with tackle-length arm span (34.5"). Primarily played right guard in college but worked at right tackle during Senior Bowl, suggesting positional versatility. Set up to create interior offensive line competition for the Colts—will challenge incumbent Matt Goncalves at right guard or potentially compete at right tackle to fill vacancy left by 2025 fourth-rounder Jalen Travis. Praised by Colts for athleticism (4.93 40-yard dash for his size, impressive for a lineman over 310 lbs) and "hard-nosed physicality" that fits GM Chris Ballard's cultural standards (per 10 Colts Things on 2026 NFL Draft: CJ Allen brings toughness & leadership).
Role / Depth Chart
