The Colts added to their offensive line Saturday, selecting Kentucky guard Jalen Farmer in the fourth round (No. 113 overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.
The 6-foot-5, 312 pound Farmer split his college career between Florida (2022-2023) and Kentucky (2024-2025). After appearing in just four games at Florida, Farmer transferred to Kentucky, where he started 24 games over two seasons at right guard for the Wildcats.
Farmer is a remarkable athlete for his size; he ran a 4.93-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine earlier this year, which stands as the fourth-fastest any guard has ran at the combine since at least 1999.
The 21-year-old Farmer is an Atlanta-area native and attended Eastside High School in Covington, Ga.
