I could not locate T Formby's PFF grades for the year. I did find some for a few 2025 games below:

BAMA vs Georgia: He graded out 72.5 PFF overall, third highest on team. With a 93.2 PFF Pass Block Grade which was #1 amongst all OL in the nation from Week 5. He played RT and also RG that game, 72 out of 79 snaps.

BAMA vs Oklahoma: 89.4 PFF Pass Block Grade which was #1 within the BAMA OL that game. He played only RG that game, 77 snaps.

BAMA vs Tennessee: He graded 68.1 PFF overall, with 80 PFF Pass Block Grade and 55.2 PFF Run Block. He did not start, but came off the bench at RT and logged 39 snaps.

Note: just found his overall PFF grade at BAMA, posted above.

Awesome... Is there an easy way to compare their grades with the linemen they are replacing? I'm sure alot can change in off season but would be interesting to see.

Those run blocking grades aren't great. Hopefully they can improve with strength and coaching.

But I was told by Stevo that Howell talked trash to LSU O lineman. And that means they are no good.

Steve-A, bro!

I didn't say they were no good, just that LSU's line was destroyed all year. Maybe that's the same thing..ha

I glean these from news articles for free. Below are the 2025 PFF grades I was able to source for OL in 2025:

G Bisontis - During his junior campaign, he recorded a career-high PFF 70.7 Pass Block grade and a 62.7 Run Block grade in 2025.

G Ar'Maj Reed-Adams - PFF Grade: 68.5 overall. He allowed just one sack and 13 pressures on 684 snaps in 2025. Allowed only 2 sacks in his 2 seasons at A&M.

T Zuhn PFF grade: 96.9 Pass Block grade.

T Crownover PFF Grade: 61.9 overall. Allowed just one quarterback hit and two sacks across 427 passblocking snaps.

C Nabou, Jr. PFF Grade: 81.5 overall with a pass blocking grade of 83.4 and a run blocking grade of 75.8

I gleaned a few draft eligible defensive players PFF for 2025:

DE Howell - PFF Grade: 90.5 Pass Rush and 72.2 Run Defense. According to Pro Football Focus, Howell is the Aggies' highest-rated draft prospect, ranked 16th.

DT Onyedim - PFF Grade: 73.2 overall

LB York - PFF Grade: 74.5 overall

LB Scooby - In just seven games this season, Williams earned a prolific PFF pass rush grade (87.3) paired with a solid 78.9 defensive grade, despite recording just 19 tackles on the year.

CB Will Lee PFF Grade: 67.2 overall. According to PFF, Lee is the 110th-ranked prospect in the class, while CBS ranks him 118th. Kiper left him outside his top 10 cornerbacks but placed him in his "just missed" category, which means he could be a midround pick.

Would be nice to know what our transfers PFF grades were before transferring in to A&M to gauge development.

Because they improved multiple players back to back seasons from where they were in 2023 to 2024 then 2024 to 2025 again?

Zuhn is gonna be a surprise in the NFL. I bet he falls on the draft board but ends up being a rock on some teams line for years. He is solid!!

In the 2023 season Zuhn was graded overall at PFF 75.7, good enough for 5th highest rated tackle in SEC, with a 77.2 Pass Block grade. In 2024 against SEC pass rushers, Zuhn finished with an impressive 80.5 pass protection grade.

He improved in 2025 to become one of the best pass blockers nationally. He will be a solid pro.

They can be really misleading for singular games, but over a large sample size they're pretty good. There's a reason everyone in CFB and the NFL uses them. The biggest flaw in their grading system is individual plays that make a very big impact.

The 3 star, 4 star, 5 star rankings are trash as well. Why do you not complain about that? PFF is more accurate as far as skills/effectiveness etc. Just another thing to complain about.

People don't understand that star rating is based off of likelyhood to make it to the NFL not on comparison to other players or effectiveness etc. it is why kids automatically get star bumps when they get offered by certain programs. Its not because they are all of a sudden more skilled but becuase they are more likely to make it to the NFL with greater exposure.

Yes, I agree, but one word of caution is that PFF does not incorporate opponent strength in their grading system. They grade on a play by play basis at face value. A 70 PFF grade in the SEC is a stronger grade than a 75 grade in the MWC for example.

And that is one of their flaws but it is hard to add level of competition calculatoion into it so I get it.

Take with caution? This is not dangerous. This is college football analysis. Don't let it paralyze you. Would you rather have no analysis?

I can't believe you morons. College and NFL scouts use PFF. If you don't like it go away.
