With the seventh overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday night, the New York Jets selected former Mizzou offensive tackle Armand Membou.
The Tigers didn’t have to wait long to see their streak of 20 consecutive years with at least 1 draft pick extended. Mizzou has now had a player drafted every year since 2005. And Membou’s selection in particular sets some rather remarkable Mizzou history.
Membou becomes the first former Mizzou offensive lineman to be taken in the opening round since the NFL Draft moved to 7 rounds in 1994. And, with a top-10 selection, Membou became the first former Tiger to be taken in the top 10 since Aldon Smith and Blaine Gabbert both did so in 2011.
A native of Lee’s Summit, the 6-foot-4 Membou was a stalwart on the Tiger offensive line all 3 years he was in the program.
He was a late bloomer, not starting organized football until the eighth grade and not experiencing a major growth spurt until his junior year of high school. Membou was a 3-star recruit in the industry-generated 247 Composite. He signed with Mizzou out of the 2022 class when he had just 1 other SEC offer in hand.
As a freshman, Membou appeared in 10 games while making 4 starts. He started in 4 of Mizzou’s final 5 games to close out the 2022 season and then made starts at right tackle in 25 of Mizzou’s next 26 games. He ended his career with 26 consecutive starts before opting out of the Music City Bowl.
In 2024, Membou was among the best offensive linemen in the country.
His 90.6 offensive grade from Pro Football Focus ranked as the fourth-best among qualified FBS linemen. In nearly 400 snaps as a pass-blocker, he did not allow a single sack or knockdown. He was one of only 14 FBS offensive linemen to see 800 or more snaps and not allow a single quarterback hit. He was also one of only 16 qualified FBS offensive linemen who had 80-plus grades as both a run-blocker and a pass-blocker.
