Florida Gators center Jake Slaughter was named the top returning interior offensive lineman in college football entering the 2025 season, according to Pro Football Focus. Ahead of the 2024 season, Slaughter ranked 8th on this list after a breakout 2023 season.
Back for his redshirt senior season, Slaughter is as well rounded as they come. The 6’4.5, 308-pound offensive lineman was the only power four center to earn an 80.0 plus grade as a pass blocker and a run blocker, per PFF.
As a pass blocker, Slaughter allowed just one sack and nine pressures across 402 pass protection snaps in 2024.
