"Caleb Lomu started on the left side for the Utes for the last two seasons, allowing only two sacks in 1,595 snaps. In 2025, he didn't concede a single sack, allowing a 2% pressure rate."
"Lomu has nearly 33.5-inch arms with an 86/99 Next Gen Stats athleticism grade, ranking him 3rd among all tackles in the class, and giving him an 81/99 overall grade."
"Given the Ute's incredible production and athleticism, it shouldn't come as a surprise that there's some real hype about his impact on New England."
"As of the immediate future, it appears Lomu will replace Vederian Lowe as the swing tackle. Down the line, Lomu is projected to be the long-term successor to Morgan Moses at right tackle."

He possesses notable size and athleticism, ranking third among tackles in the class. Lomu is expected to replace Vederian Lowe as the swing tackle and eventually succeed Morgan Moses at right tackle.
