Samson Okunlola

As a College Recruit

Aggressive offensive lineman with nimble movement skills and a positive athletic profile. Has plus length for the position at 6-foot-5.5, 335 pounds with 34-inch arms. Added weight from his junior to seniors years, carrying much of his mass in the lower body. Has shown good short area quickness in the camp setting. Also spends time as a wrestler and thrower in the shot put. Plays both ways at his high school as an offensive tackle and defensive lineman. Has some dominant flashes, particularly as a run blocker. Moves well to the second level, locating and blowing up linebackers on contact. Finishes blocks at a high rate and works to plant defenders into the turf. Shows similar emphatic finishing ability on defense, where he suplexes ball carriers at times. Plays low and understands leverage. Will need to continue developing his pass set technique. Could also stand to improve his ankle flexion. Faces subpar competition and may need some time to adjust to the uptick in talent level once in college. Could project at offensive tackle or guard long-term
