The Philadelphia Eagles have invited a monster offensive tackle out of William and Mary to the NovaCare Complex for a closer look ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 in Houston confirmed that William and Mary's six-foot-five, 311-pound offensive tackle Charles Grant has a Top 30 visit scheduled with the Birds.

A two-time FCS All-American, Grant allowed just two sacks over the course of three seasons at William and Mary.

He was invited to the NFL Scouting Combine, and while he did not participate in on-field workouts, he put up 19 reps on bench press.

Grant enters the draft after logging 767 total snaps, including 372 of them in pass protection, where he allowed nine pressures and one sack in 12 starts at left tackle in 2024.

The Viriginia native comes with an interesting background since he wrestled for several years before turning to football during his junior year of high school.

Here's what The 33rd Team had to say about Grant in his NFL draft scouting report:

William & Mary offensive tackle Charles Grant is, despite being a fifth-year senior, a high-upside developmental choice that should warrant consideration by the end of Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Grant has ample potential to tap into with a leap in coaching and strength and conditioning resources. He also possesses all of the clear benchmarks of a quality starting offensive tackle at the NFL level. He has uncoachable levels of athleticism, length, and short-area explosiveness and has an NFL build that should only get better as he develops his body in a professional setting.

Expecting Grant to come in and start off the jump would be unwise, but stable organizations that ask their offensive line to play with urgency and create movement at the point of attack will give him the best opportunity to reach his potential.

Grant is a projected top-100 prospect and would be a great fit for Philly as they look to stack their offensive line depth.
