Breaking down the finalists

Seaton broke down what stood out about each school

Maryland – It is the hometown and the relationship me and Locks have is unlike no other! 

Ohio State– Coach Fry’s development and coaching is through the roof.  I feel he can prepare me for the next level.

Oregon – They’re my dream school. Coach Terry and Lanning are REAL AS IT GETS! And The opportunity you have to build with Nike is amazing also. 

Alabama – Coach Wolford has been in my recruitment since he was at Kentucky and when he left for Bama I was the first OL he offered! Alabama’s work with OL speak for itself

Florida – Coach Sale and staff have a real need for a tackle position and Coach Sale knows how to develop linemen. The Gators fanbase is unlike no other.

Tennessee– Coach Elarbee Intelligence for the game is out of this world. I can’t imagine what it would be like if he had a guy with my athletic ability with Nico also… Scary.

Scouting Summary

On3’s Scouting and Rankings team writes this about him as a prospect:

“Polished offensive tackle who is one of the more battle-tested prospects at the position in the 2024 cycle. Measured at over 6-foot-5, 295 pounds prior to his senior season. Has a big frame and plus length for the position with arm length over 34 inches and a verified 10.75-inch hand. Dropped considerable weight as a junior after previously weighing over 330 pounds. Technically sound and well-rounded from a skill perspective. Looks ahead of the curve in pass protection. Flashes good reactive quickness. Understands pass rush plans and works to neutralize rushers. Uses his redirect skills to mirror and quick, strong hands to neutralize at the point of attack. Drops his weight and anchors on contact. Also show some physicality and nastiness as a run blocker. Looks to move much better as a junior with the weight loss. Lined up at left tackle for St. John’s College and faced top competition on a weekly basis. Transferred to IMG Academy for his senior season. Does not have positive athletic markers other than film. Can also continue to improve his ankle flexion. Overall polish and experience against top competition makes him one of the more ready to play offensive linemen in the cycle.”
