With Wanya Morris and Anton Harrison leaving for the National Football League Draft in 2023, Guyton was placed in a starting role at right tackle to begin the 2023 season.[11] [12] He declared for the 2024 NFL draft following the season, where he was viewed as a potential first-round selection.[13]
