The New York Giants added depth to their defensive line on Day 3 of the 2026 NFL draft, selecting Auburn nose tackle Bobby Jamison-Travis with the 186th overall pick.

Jamison-Travis, a 6-foot-3, 335-pound senior from Minneapolis, Minnesota, started all 12 games at nose tackle for the Tigers in 2025. He posted a career-high 36 tackles, including 25 solo stops, two tackles for loss, and two pass breakups, leading Auburn’s interior linemen in tackles.

The former Iowa Western standout impressed with his stout run defense and ability to hold the point of attack. Scouts praised his impressive length, strong upper body, and gap-clogging presence in the middle, making him a reliable anchor against the run despite limited pass-rush production.

Jamison-Travis began his collegiate career at Auburn in 2023 after a decorated junior college stint, where he earned NJCAA first-team All-America honors and helped his team win a national title. His journey from high school standout to NFL prospect highlights his work ethic and physical tools.

The Giants, seeking reinforcements along the interior following the trade of Dexter Lawrence, project Jamison-Travis as an eventual rotational contributor who can provide immediate value on early downs.
