Jalen Farmer selected by Colts in fourth round of NFL Draft: grade, analysis, stats

Farmer gives Indianapolis a playable interior line option after the Colts lost Braden Smith and Danny Pinter, and he allowed just five sacks at Kentucky.

  • On Saturday, the Indianapolis Colts selected University of Kentucky guard Jalen Farmer with the 113th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, marking their first offensive player drafted this year.
  • Standing 6-foot-5 and 312 pounds, Farmer started 24 games at right guard over two seasons at Kentucky after transferring from Florida, where he played four games.
  • Farmer recorded a 9.83 Relative Athletic Score and ran a 4.93-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, while allowing only five sacks during his two seasons in Lexington.
  • The addition addresses interior offensive line depth, with Farmer expected to develop under offensive line coach Tony Sparano Jr. on a roster featuring Sauce Gardner.
  • As an Eastside High School alumnus, Farmer joins Houston Texans defensive lineman Sheldon Rankins and Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Eric Stokes as fellow alumni in the NFL.
