Expert Analysis

Paul Gregorian

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Tanner checks into our final rankings as the number two player in the 2026 class and has been dominating top tier competition in the state for several years now. He is a nasty road-grader with violent hands, great overall bend and athletic ability and is a very cerebral and technically sound player that should project nicely as a center in college. The BYU commit showed tremendous position versatility along anywhere up front and is another guy that should see early playing time for the Cougars and is a big part of a very talented ’26 class they have brought in so far before the first national signing day.

Recent Visits: Oregon, BYU, Tennessee

Tanner remains one of the top uncommitted prospects on the western region, and his commitment is one to watch through the summer. He has recently taken OV’s to Tennessee, BYU and Oregon and is one of the more athletic and high IQ prospects we have seen and should excel as a center in college at the P4 level.

Notes: Tanner who is part of a elite ’26 tackle duo in Idaho recently released his top ten schools which included Oregon, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Tennessee, North Carolina, south, Florida, Boise, State, BYU, and Penn State. His commitment will be one to watch either this Summer or this Fall as he is one of the top uncommitted offensive line prospects across the western region.

“Having the chance to go play there is amazing," Tanner recently told @EJHollandOn3. "Having Coach Newsome and Coach Moore tell me that I can come in and be a top center is unbelievable.” pic.twitter.com/M9wk8iiMde

Tanner checks into our rankings as the number two overall prospect in Idaho, and is another national recruit that is a elite tackle prospect with the ideal size, length and athleticism for the power five tackle position and beyond. He is physical and strong at the POA, finishes blocks downfield and has elite movement and feet in space in pass protection while extremely athletic and flexible for his size. He holds offers from 22 schools and is rated as a high 3-star prospect per 247-Sports.

Tanner continues to bring in top offers from around the country, one of the top 2026 recruits continues to show why he is so highly recruited. Tanner is a balanced offensive lineman that really is able to anchor against the pass rush and then create massive amount of movement up front. He picked up offers from Wisconsin and New Mexico.

Tanner not only picked up a big time SEC offer from the University of Tennessee but also was named the Gatorade Player of the Year. The junior offensive lineman had 115 pancake blocks, and no sack allowed. He is a big player and has shown it game in and game out over his junior season.

Tanner has quickly emerged as one of the top tackles on the west coast in the 2026 class, and is in a class of his own in the state of Idaho. He already holds national offers as a Junior, and should be a 20+ offer kid by the time it’s all said and done. So far early this Fall, he has picked up offers from Utah and Boston College, and taken visits to Boise State and BYU, with both of those schools having offered him earlier this Spring.

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Tanner is one of the most impressive 2026 tackle prospects on the entire western region, and is a natural bender, has terrific feet and movement abilities while excelling both in the run game and pass protection. He is a violent and explosive player that can block at any of the first three levels, shows a strong finish and gets immediate vertical push on the edge when sealing. He is a no brainer to be ranked the top recruit in the state of Idaho, and will be one of the more sought after recruits on the west coast regardless of position. Tanner currently holds offers from Oregon, Boise State, BYU, Boston College, Nevada and Washington State and should see a slew of others come in as he progresses through the next two seasons for Rocky Mountain.

Tanner is the top player in the state of Idaho with a ton of Power 4 talent. He is one of the best lineman in the state with his ability to anchor and road grate defensive lineman in the run game but also is a solid and nimble footed pass blocker.
