As a Recruit
Explosive, athletic offensive lineman with the ability to be a mauling weapon in the run game. Has unverified size, but is listed at around 6-foot-5, 275 pounds. Moves at a different speed than most top offensive line prospects. A twitchy athlete who runs at the speed of a skill player once at the second level. A very strong run blocker. Caves in his side of the line as a point-of-attack blocker. Plays with advanced technique. Understands hand placement. Locks onto defenders and has the core strength to generate a big push, often resulting in pancake finishes. Shows good flexibility in staying low against shorter defensive linemen. Has the upside to be a game-changer as a puller at the second level. Owns a very strong multi-sport profile as a three sport athlete. Outstanding as a thrower in track, with a personal best of over 58 feet in the shot put. Also plays basketball and has some above-the-rim bounce, which is rare for an offensive line prospect. Unverified length and the fact he’s further along as a run blocker leads to some ambiguity around his ultimate position. Could slide inside long-term. Does not play top competition on Friday nights and may need some time to adjust to blocking Power 5 defensive linemen, but has the tools to be one of the better offensive line prospects in the 2024 cycle.
