​#76 prince tega wanogho vs lsu (2019)

Strengths: With a basketball and soccer background, Wanogho is a very athletic offensive lineman.  Pass protection is his most significant trait, as he has excellent control of his footwork. Has the ability to mirror speedy pass rushers and very cerebral of the field action. Acutely aware of stunts, twist, and blitz packages. Has a potent upperbody packs a strong punch that jolts the defenders. Display his hands in a ready position at the snap of the ball. Wanogho can maul defenders as a run blocker and the ability to play as an interior lineman — a versatile player with the ability all over the line of scrimmage.​

Weaknesses: Needs to develop better fundamental blocking skills in the run game while moving in space. Will need to work on setting up defenders with cut-blocks as he telegraphs buy lunging too soon. Will need to bulk up on the lower body as legs are slightly thin. Will help improve his power and not allow defenders to get underneath him and moved around. Arms are slightly shorter for his frame, which allows defenders to long arm him taking away power. At the next level will not get away with one power block and expects to get the job done. 

Draft Grade: 6.30 

Draft Projection: 2nd - 3rd round
