The Good
– Great size, frame, and length, looks the part of an offensive lineman
– Uses his build to his advantage, engulfs and envelops defenders, bullies smaller players, and easily knocks them to the ground
– Uses his length well to seal the edge, hard to beat him around the edge
– Works independent hands in pass protection
– Displaces defenders in run game, issues powerful jolt into defenders
– Naturally strong with great grip strength, able to absorb bull rushes

– One-year starter who battled injuries and missed lots of time in 2023, full games and partial games, while rested at end of blowouts
– Struggles to hit the target at the second level and isn’t super explosive out of stance in the run game

– Will show forward lean as a blocker and fall off
– Nearly all reps have come at RT
