Scouting Journals for Ryan Fodje

Ascending offensive tackle prospect with the skill set to develop into a high-level pass protector. Measured at an estimated 6-foot-4.5, 295 pounds prior to his senior season. Added considerable mass to his frame as a junior. Looks to have good length for the position. Lines up at right tackle for his high school team. Advanced in pass protection relative to many of his peers. Has light feet and shows high-end reactive quickness. Mirrors and stays on balance with micro movements. Neutralizes pass rushers with active hands at the point of attack. Shows signs of a solid anchor. Flashes encouraging upside as a drive blocker in the run game. Moves very well at the second level. Also participates in track, where he threw a personal best of 45-5.75 feet in the shot put, a good mark. One of the youngest top offensive linemen in the cycle, turning 17 years-old in July prior to his senior year of high school. Still developing in part due to his younger age. Will need to continue adding play strength. Has some ambiguity around his true measurements. Has the upside to break into the top tier of offensive tackle prospects in a loaded cycle at the position.
