Jalen Farmer, a 6’5” 312-pound offensive lineman, transferred from Florida to Kentucky and became a starting right guard, showcasing serious power in the run game. In this breakdown, we dive into his dominant run blocking ability, including his explosive first step, heavy hands, and ability to drive defenders off the line—especially in power schemes.

Farmer’s 4.93 40-yard dash highlights his straight-line athleticism, which shows up when pulling and leading in the run game. However, his pass protection presents some development areas, particularly with lateral agility, reaction time to stunts, and consistent hand usage.
