Report: Andrew Coker agrees to UDFA deal with Las Vegas Raiders

Former TCU Horned Frogs offensive lineman Andrew Coker has agreed to an UDFA deal with Las Vegas Raiders, per report.

Last season, Coker was named team captain and started 11 games on the offensive line. He was named an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention and selected to the All-Big 12 Academic First Team. Coker started at right tackle in all 15 games in 202 and helped the Horned Frogs reach the College Football Playoff Championship game.

In 2021, Coker started 12 games at right tackle, making one of two TCU offensive linemen to start all 12 contests. As a redshirt freshman in 2020, Coker started in TCU’s first eight games, making him the only Horned Frogs lineman reach that mark. In 2019, Coker played in a three games to preserve a redshirt season.

“I found my identity at TCU. When you first get to college, you’re young, and scared, and don’t know what to expect,” Coker said in a first-person column for TCU. “Even though TCU offered me a scholarship very early in my recruiting process, and I knew they wanted me, I had a lot of doubt throughout my freshman fall camp. That doubt quickly went away when Lucas Niang, an older player and future mentor of mine, pulled me aside and gave me an a-ha moment during one of our first games. He told me, ‘You are meant to be here. You have all the talent in the world. Believe in yourself.'”

Coker played high school football at Taylor High School in Katy, Texas, where he was three-star recruit. He ranked as the No. 493 overall prospect and the No. 39 offensive tackle in the 2019 class, according to the On3 Industry Rating.

What NFL Draft analysts are saying about Andrew Coker

Lance Zierlein of NFL.com shared his analysis of Coker for his draft profile and predicted he would be signed as a priority free agent.

“Four-year starter as a right tackle prospect with the potential to bump inside to guard,” Zierlein wrote. Coker is a decent athlete who can mirror the rush and get out into space in the run game, but his lack of core strength could be an issue.

“He’s unable to generate much push as a drive blocker and can be driven back into the pocket by a strong bull rush or a leveraged stab move. He plays with pretty good technique and quality hand usage, but sustaining his block and neutralizing NFL power merchants still needs proof of concept. Coker will face an uphill battle as either a tackle or guard.
