Oklahoma OT Tyler Guyton declares for 2024 NFL Draft

Oklahoma offensive tackle Tyler Guyton has declared for the 2024 NFL Draft, he announced via X on Saturday evening. After spending two seasons with the Sooners after transferring in from TCU, Guyton will be making the next step toward playing professional football.

“As I step into the NFL Draft, I am humbled by the collective support that has shaped my journey,” Guyton said in a statement. “I carry the lessons learned, and the memories shared. Here’s to the next chapter, fueled by the love and encouragement of God.”

Guyton played in 10 games this season for Oklahoma, being a key contributor along the offensive line. He played along the right side, which was the blind side of quarterback Dillon Gabriel. NFL scouts are going to love Guyton, especially if he tests well at the combine.

Back in early November, ESPN’s Matt Miller put together a list of his top 25 prospects for the 2024 NFL Draft. Guyton found himself on it, coming in at No. 15. Only two other offensive tackles were ranked ahead of him at the time.

There is still plenty of time in the process and Guyton could be somebody that explodes before everyone comes together in Detroit.
