center highlights
​michigan wolverines

strengths

weakness

• He is an intelligent offensive lineman with great awareness and plays well in space.
  
• He can process the defenses, recognize stunts and blitzes pre-snap, and communicate protections to fellowed linemen.
  
• He is crafty at his position on leveraging his body to control the blocks and open up run lanes.
  
• In short yardage, he can get low-leverage and drive back the defender.
  
• He demonstrates a good hand inside with hip-to-elbow continuity to drive the defender in the direction opposite of the run.
  
• He will keep his legs pumping and continue driving with his block down the field until a whistle blows.
  
• While uncovered, he mastered his art of assisting with combination and double team blocks.
  
• As a pass-protector, he is solid in slide protections and drops a good anchor.
  

• He will need more strength to add about 10-15 pounds to his frame.
  
• He will need help against powerful bull rushers to set his feet to drop an anchor and sustain the rush.
  
• He will get above the pad level at the point of attack with one-on-ones with stout defensive tackles.
  
• He will lunge out at the defender missing his target and side-stepped, and loses his battle at the second level of defenders.
