2022 Highlights
​ucla bruins

strength

• He is a nimble and athletic lineman that excels in zone-running schemes.
  
• He can quickly explode off the snap to get to his blocking target.
  
• As a pulling guard, he gets out of stance quickly and uses excellent pad level to drive the defender.
  
• He has fluid hips to allow his quick feet to reach the defender and initiate the control of contact.
  
• He works well in space and can climb to the second level of defenders.
  
• He can set an anchor for bull rushers on passing downs.
  

weakness

• He must add strength and power to play offensive guard at the next level.
  
• He will need to get in the weight room and get stronger.
  
• He will not generate any push in the run game allowing the defender to compromise his leverage.
  
• He consistently gets above the pad level, and the rushers push him back before he can eventually drop an anchor.
  
• He explodes too fast out of his stance as he lunges and whiff on blocks.
  
• His hand placement needs work, as he allows his hands to get comprehensive, creating holding penalties or defenders countering his move.
