Strengths

• Has the agility, technique, and size to contribute early in his professional career. Quick, active hands to latch on to defenders.
• Gets everything out of his adequate size and frame with good length. Added bulk to his frame and flashes functional strength to get a good push in the run game.
• A smooth mover and covers a lot of ground, working hard to mirror rushers; agile and keeps his feet moving.
• Quick and nimble, light on his feet. Very athletic blocker on the move. Good slide and hand placement effectively shut down most speed rushers.
• Finishes and doesn't quit; competitor with a positive attitude and leadership traits that coaches admire.

Weaknesses

• Drops his head too often on contact, which causes problems against swim moves.
• A short-area blocker with limited range and doesn't consistently get to the second level. Will play undisciplined at times, especially in space. Lacks a finishing attitude.
• Flashes the ability to move his man with his hands, but is not yet consistent in this area.
• Not explosive in any aspect. Lacks the quickness to redirect and handle cut blocks. Unable to complete most combo blocks. Gets an initial shove at the line but doesn't move the second target. Poor body control and lacks accuracy blocking on the move.
• He's athletic and a pure left tackle whose high-hipped frame and waist bending might be exposed against pro pass rushers.
