Video Breakdown: Oregon OL Commit Josh Conerly Jr.
Oregon fans are still buzzing about the addition of high four-star offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. from Friday. A very public and highly-discussed commitment for the Ducks.
The 6-foot-6, 285-pounder is the No. 40 ranked player in the On3 Consensus Rankings. He becomes the Ducks top-ranked commitment in the 2022 class.
In short, he’s really good at football.
Here is the On3 Scouting Report from Charles Power.
A modern day athletic offensive tackle prospect with a basketball background. Has a good build for the position with a big frame and plus length. Fast starter out of his stance with good foot quickness. Quickly works to second level and looks to strike in open space. Dangerous when he pulls with a powerful initial punch Flat-footed in a three-point stance with an athletic look. Shoots his hands with accuracy. Shows off his athleticism and initial quickness doubling as a defensive tackle, where he is a disruptor on that side of the ball. Frame has the ability to carry more than 300 pounds and is well proportioned. Needs to increase his functional play strength and continue improving lower body flexibility. Will also need to adjust to the speed of the game, particularly in pass protection, as he moves to the college level.
But if you are a visual learner, here is a terrific YouTube video highlighting some of the strengths of Conerly’s game. J.D. PicKell, an independent, has put together a film breakdown of Josh Conerly. He runs a YouTube page you can subscribe to where he breaks down recruits around the country.
