Caleb Lomu

With the Eagles primed to pursue offensive help early in this year’s draft, addressing the line is likely on general manager Howie Roseman‘s to-do list. To no surprise, the Eagles are eyeing one of this year’s top offensive tackle prospects, Utah’s Caleb Lomu. The 6-foot-6, 313-pounder visited Philadelphia this week, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Lomu may be on the Eagles’ radar at No. 23 overall, but he would not be a plug-and-play option for the club. The Eagles have a pair of established tackles in Jordan Mailata on the left side and franchise legend Lane Johnson on the right. But the Eagles have to prepare for life after Johnson, who contemplated retirement before committing to at least one more season in late February.

Johnson is heading into his age-36 campaign, which will be the 13-year veteran’s first season without offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland. The revered Stoutland did not stick around after the Eagles hired new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. Chris Kuper faces the unenviable task of following Stoutland. It could be up to Kuper to mold Lomu and/or other rookies in 2026.

The 29-year-old Mailata is under contract for three more seasons. That suggests the Eagles are not going to spend a high pick on a tackle unless they are confident the prospect will be able to handle the right side. That is something they will have to determine regarding Lomu, who only played on the left at Utah. He and fellow potential first-rounder Spencer Fano were the Utes’ bookends.

A two-year starter at Utah, Lomu earned first-team All-Big 12 honors in 2025. He did not allow a sack last year, per Dane Brugler of The Athletic. Both Brugler (No. 25) and Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com (No. 26) consider Lomu a top-30 prospect, which is right in the Eagles’ wheelhouse in the first round. He could end up as the team’s heir apparent to Johnson.
