NFL Team Schedules Private Workout with Former Clemson OL

A Clemson draft prospect and three-year starter on the offensive line will reportedly work out for this NFC South team ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft.

The New Orleans Saints have a private workout scheduled with Clemson offensive tackle Tristan Leigh, according to NFL Draft analyst Ryan Fowler.

After signing with Clemson as a five-star recruit in the 2021 recruiting class, Leigh took over a starting role in the 2023 season. He started 33 games over the past three seasons, with most of those coming at left tackle.

Overall, the 6-foot-6, 310-pounder played 2,202 offensive snaps over 42 games in his five-year career as a Tiger from 2021-25.

Prior to the 2025 season, Leigh was voted by his teammates as a permanent team captain, and he will now pursue his dream of playing in the NFL.

The 2026 NFL Draft will take place from April 23-25 in Pittsburgh.

Leigh was not among the nine Clemson players who were invited to the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, but he’s had the chance to showcase his skills for NFL personnel at multiple college football all-star games following the 2025 campaign.
