strengths

• He was one of few offensive linemen who flourished during the 2023 Reese's Senior Bowl workouts.
• He is an experienced lineman who started four years at the left tackle position growing every season.
• He is very smooth; he stays low, revving off the snap from his stance, and displays how light he is on his feet and reaching his target.
• He has good, is very quick to his target, fires out for run blocking, and uses his speed to pull around and clear space.
• In pass protection, he demonstrates his quick feet, excellent kick or slide step, keeps a fluid base, and mirrors the pass rushers while maintaining his base.
• He has quick hands for a punch and to generate leverage to keep the rusher at bay.
• When beaten by the defender, he does not give up, looking for a recovery solution.

weakness

• ​​He demonstrates a curl with his hands, making them inconsistent, missing his target, and usually allowing the defender off the block.
• He needs to be more effective with his initial punch and vulnerability of getting n up bull rushers that expose his chest.
• He needs help with double-team blocking schemes and blitzing linebackers or corners from the edge.
• He does not display any power or force when getting fed to the interior defensive linemen or maintaining average.
• He gets beat randomly from the edge and struggles to get his hips and hands while in recovery mode.

Draft Projection: 5th - 6th Round

NFL Comparison: Robert Hunt (Miami Dolphins)
