The Dallas Cowboys selected Oklahoma OT Tyler Guyton with the No. 29 pick in the 2024 NFL draft. Guyton played at TCU in 2020 and 2021 before transferring to Oklahoma. Here’s everything you need to know about Guyton.
Possesses tremendous size and length and is known for his prowess in pass protection as he allowed just two sacks in 548 career pass-blocking plays, according to Pro Football Focus. Guyton battled injuries in college but started in nine games in the 2023 season as he started to show consistency. Guyton is still somewhat inexperienced as an offensive lineman as he primarily played on the defensive line in high school before getting to college.
Guyton is listed at 6-foot-8 and weighs in at 322 lbs. He attended Manor High School (Texas) and was born in Manor, Texas.
Played in 29 games (nine at TCU and 20 at Oklahoma). Started in 14 games at Oklahoma.
Guyton’s best moments came in the 2023 season when he started in nine games. Guyton truly proved himself as he played a career-high 663 snaps and didn’t allow a sack in 355 pass-blocking plays. Guyton started in some big games, including Oklahoma’s 34-30 win against Texas, which made it to the College Football Playoff and beat the Sooners 49-0 the previous year.
Guyton attended the NFL Combine and finished the 40-yard dash in 5.19 seconds, the 10-yard split in 1.76, the three-cone drill in 7.5 and the 20-yard shuttle in 4.71. His vertical jump was 34½ inches and broad jump was 8 feet, 11 inches.
