The New York Jets made a major investment in the trenches by selecting Missouri offensive tackle Armand Membou with their first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. At 6’3” and 339 pounds, Membou brings rare size, raw strength, and plenty of experience from one of the nation’s top football conferences.
Membou entered the college ranks as a highly regarded four-star recruit out of Lee’s Summit North High School in Missouri. He was ranked among the top interior linemen in the nation, known for his nasty streak and powerful run blocking. Once at Missouri, he quickly earned a starting job — not on the interior, but at right tackle, where he would go on to start 25 consecutive games against SEC competition.
