William Echoles is a 6-foot-2, 312-pound interior lineman who put together one loud season at Ole Miss, racking up 68 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, five sacks and five pass breakups in 2025. The model's career-value board has him at No. 14 for the 2028 class, but that number stands alone — zero public big boards currently list him, so there's no consensus rank or room grade to check it against.
