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.
