Olaus Alinen

Big-bodied native of Finland whose readymade size and play strength helps him excel as a run blocker. Has a well-proportioned and filled-out build at 6-foot-5.5 and around 325 pounds heading into his senior season. Adequate length with 33-inch arms. Plays at a prep school in Connecticut. Mauls opposing defensive linemen at the point of attack. Shows heavy hands and a significant punch. Moves fairly well when working to the second level. Looks to be generally coordinated with his hands. Still developing in his pass set against speed and will need to adjust to the significant uptick in competition he’ll see at the college level. Could end up inside long-term but potentially has the ability to work as a swing tackle down the line. Older for the 2023 class, turning 18 years-old in the fall of his junior year.
