A consensus All-American left tackle at Alabama who allowed just two sacks in three seasons, Kadyn Proctor was Miami's first-round pick at No. 12 overall in 2026.
Kadyn Proctor is a massive, athletic offensive tackle who started at left tackle for Alabama from the moment he stepped on campus as a five-star recruit. The Dolphins made him their first-round selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, and he projects to compete immediately for a starting job on Miami's offensive line.
Path to the league
Proctor, from the Des Moines, Iowa area, won the Anthony Munoz Award as a senior at Southeast Polk High School and was rated a five-star prospect, ranked No. 7 overall and the top offensive lineman in the 2023 class. He enrolled at Alabama and started at left tackle immediately as a true freshman, briefly transferring to Iowa in early 2024 before returning to Tuscaloosa. The Dolphins selected him 12th overall in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Career highlights
Proctor started at left tackle for three seasons at Alabama, earning Freshman All-American honors in 2023, second-team All-SEC in 2024, and consensus All-American recognition along with the Jacobs Blocking Trophy in 2025. He allowed just two sacks across his entire three-year college career, an elite mark for a tackle who played almost exclusively against SEC pass rushers.
2025 season recap
In his final season at Alabama in 2025, Proctor earned consensus All-American honors and won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the SEC's top blocker. He also made headlines lining up as an eligible receiver against Georgia, hauling in an 11-yard reception for a key first down.
