GAME FILM
​#76 AUSTIN DECULUS vs TEXAS A&M (2021)

#76 AUSTIN DECULUS HIGHLIGHTS

Strengths

• He brings much experience to the offensive line tackle with perfect size and length. 
• He deposes his opponents when he gets his target with excellent leg drive.
• He executes excellent timing with combo blocks and double teams.
• He will use his long arms to redirect pass rushers and set an excellent anchor against bull-pusher.
• He uses excellent hand placement to sustain his blocks with strength.
• He is a cerebral player who has excellent recognition of blitzing linebackers or defensive backs

Weaknesses

• He tends to open his hips too early in his pass sets and exposes himself to inside moves.
• He lacks the range to cut off speedy pass rushers coming from the edge.
• At the next level, he will require tight-end assistance with speed rushers if he does not find a way to counter.
• He stuggles on cut blocking; he needs to have better timing and not lunge out at initial movement.
• He can struggle in space due to his lack of athleticism; moving targets at the second level cause him to miss his targets.

Draft Projection: 5th - 7th Round

NFL Comparison: Royce Newman (Green Bay Packers)
