Player Summary:
rSr this 5th year Center started in 31 Games in his 5 Seasons at UTEP. He has a stout, smaller frame position. He was primarily used in Gun, for Pass Pro, and Zone Runs. He is fast from snap to finish on zone runs using good foot quickness, to laterally cross or displace the defender generating a hole, immediately placing his hands on the defender, bending his knees, and driving to deliver a defender jolting pop. In Pass Pro, he depends on a technically sound anchor, and his feet to mirror and rushers, and for recovery. He displays a quick upper body when turning to another block or needs COD. In space blocks he can quickly reach the second level on combo blocks and reaches beyond in screens placing himself ahead of the ball carrier. When dealing with a delayed blitz or double fire, he efficiently recognizes and reacts, adjusting to a change as well as snapping the ball and being a prepared blocker. He plays with solid effort and intensity.
He does struggle with his ability to generate and distribute power. With his smaller frame, he is unable to get a push in goal-line situations, as well as generate consistent grounds without a double. This carries to his UOH as once he grips a defender, he is unable to maintain a block for too long, requiring the running back to hit the hole quickly in runs, or a faster release by the QB in Pass Pro. Additionally in Pass Pro, his lack of twitch shows as explosive moves blow past him, forcing him into recovery and adjustment, as well as getting consistently driven back into the pocket by a bull rush, leaving the defender next to the QB and forcing a scramble drill.
Scheme Fit:
Zone Run scheme that includes Double Doubles in Run, and quick pass possession offense.
Power Statement:
Andrew has the play speed, and mental acuity to play at the next level, with another year to bulk he will be a promising prospect for an NFL team.
