Player Summary:

6th YR RS SR and 4 YR full-time starter at LT in the zone/power blocking scheme of UTWB. He possesses below-average height, elite weight with marginal speed with a stocky, powerful build. He is an average athlete showing a combination of average COD, explosiveness, acceleration, lateral quickness and agility with adequate balance and average play speed. He is a good run blocker. He fires out of his stance before delivering a powerful punch with average placement and timing on zone and base blocks before latching on. He creates good movement at the POA with his above-average grip strength, foot drive and physical toughness against 3/5T with ordinary size and AA. He plays well at the 2nd level as he gets out in space and takes solid angles before using his good play strength to overpower OLB with average explosiveness and ordinary physical toughness. In pass pro, he does a good job of keeping his feet moving while displaying average UOH in his placement and timing. He uses his good play strength to anchor against the bullrush from EDGE with good size and average UOH. He displays solid reactive athleticism as he can pick up stunts and twists from ILB and IDL with adequate lateral quickness and agility twisting towards the outside. He does an above-average job of recovering if beaten initially as he uses his good play strength to shield EDGE with good explosiveness away from the QB who win his outside shoulder. He displays very good mental toughness as he elevates his play in the run and passing game near the goal line. Ordinary flexibility enables EDGE with good hip and ankle flexion combined with good length and UOH to disengage while in pass pro. He struggles to consistently play with a wide base in pass pro. Lack of quality balance causes him to struggle to keep his weight over his toes when engaged 1on1 against EDGE with good play strength, length, UOH and physical toughness.

Scheme Fit:

OG or OT in zone scheme due to him playing solid in space.

Power Statement:

Tough, powerful, experienced player who excels as a run blocker and plays well overall in the passing game. Lack of quality flexibility causes EDGE rushers with good hip and ankle flexion to get under his pads but compensates with his above average play strength.
