#56 tyler smith vs ohio st (2021)

Strengths

• He is a talented, athletic, smooth, and agile young lineman with a ton of upside.    
• He is a cerebral player who demonstrates some rather raw skills impressive for a young player.
• He is solid, physical, and has enormous power for the run game will play until the whistle blows.
• He is a mauler who drives the defenders back with his robust frame as a run blocker and will plant or knock them out of the play.
• He uses his athleticism to climb up to defenders' second and third levels.
• He shows excellent pass blocking skills with quickness out the stance, feet, and hands.
• His ability to mirror pass rushers is impeccable, especially with excellent recognition of the blitz or stunts. 
• He drops a great anchor with an excellent knee bend to stop powerful bull-rushers in their tracks.

​Weaknesses

• Despite his current skill level, his rawness will require more defined development.
• He will play above the pad-level creating havoc on his assignment.
• His footwork needs much work as he tends to come to a halt after the point of attack and not continue to drive his legs and feet.
• He reacts too anxiously to get out or react to speed rushers who will counter him with a one-two move.​​
