senior highlights

strength

• He is a versatile player who played tackle but will fit in as an interior offensive lineman.
  
• He was a starting guard and flipped over to tackle, but he played at the center position at the 2023 Reese's Senior Bowl.
• He has average agility and speed and comfortable movement, displaying his relaxation at his spot.
  
• His lateral movement is excellent as he can pull, move in man, and have zone-blocking schemes while moving in space. 
  
• His hand placement is excellent in pass protection, and he can set the arch for speedy pass rushers with a nice kick slide.
  

weakness

• He does not fit the scope and skill set for an NFL tackle, better molded for the center position.
  
• He needs to have that strength and is required to control the more prominent-size defensive linemen.
  
• He struggles to find his target at the point of attack, or when engaged with the defender, they slip off to make tackles.
  
• He needs to develop more skill sets with reaching his target when climbing to the second level of defenders; he will lunge and whiff on the block.
  
• He needs to get in the weight room, bulk up, and add more weight; he struggles to hold his anchor against bull rushers.
  
• He has the technique and natural strength that makes him sophisticated to scouts, but unless he checks off the boxes needing improvement, he will be a project on the practice squad if he can make the roster.
