Kingston was an Honorable Mention for the All-Pac-12 Conference team while with Washingotn State in 2022. He spent five years with the Cougars.

Kingston took his grad year at USC in 2023. He’s a versatile offensive lineman, starting games at guard and tackle.

High, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 215 overall prospect in the state, the No. 185 offensive tackle in the class and the No. 2,088 overall prospect in the class.

What draft analysts are saying about Jarrett Kingston

NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein broke down the tape and evaluated the pro prospects of Kingston in the NFL. He was a projected priority free agent coming into the draft.

“Offensive lineman who has the grit, play strength and know-how to play guard, but his size and length could prevent it,” Zierlein wrote. “Kingston has been well-trained in pass protection, with a steady posture and quick hand strikes, but he could have issues when he’s on an island and forced to defend both gaps against an athletic rusher.

“He’s capable of making zone-scheme blocks and does an admirable job of sustaining run blocks for as long as possible. While he never played the position in a collegiate game, Kingston’s future in the NFL might rest on his ability to prove he can snap and move to center.”
