Kaleb Proctor, a defensive tackle out of Southeastern Louisiana, is one of the more intriguing small-school prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft. After a 9-sack season and a strong showing at the East-West Shrine Bowl, Proctor carried that momentum into the NFL Combine where he tested extremely well for a 290-pound interior defender. In this breakdown, Proctor flashes elite explosiveness off the line with a quick first step and the ability to win with active, violent hands. His short-area quickness allows him to attack both shoulders of offensive linemen, making him a disruptive interior pass rusher. Against LSU, he showed he can compete with higher-level talent and still create pressure. While his pass rush upside is clear, Proctor is still developing strength, particularly as a power rusher and run defender. At this stage, he projects best as a rotational interior pass rusher with the potential to expand his role as he adds strength at the next level.
