Honors & awards
  • 2022 Outland Trophy
  • 2022 Rimington Trophy
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Showed impressive range and the ability to get out and land blocks on the move
  • As a pass protector, Oluwatimi plays with good balance and holds up against the bull rush. Oluwatimi has strong hands and does a nice job gripping and latching on once he has his hands on the pass rusher.
  • Has the agility, technique, and size to contribute early in his professional career. Quick, active hands to latch on to defenders.
  • Cerebral player, quick to react to twists and stunts up front, and he shows an excellent understanding of angles when moving out as a run blocker.
  • Uses his hands well, with good hand placement to maximize his powerful punch. Oluwatimi shows impressive coordination between his upper and lower body when moving in pass protection.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Oluwatimi is prone to playing off-balance and struggling against counter moves.
  • He’ll occasionally stop his feet when delivering a punch, and he doesn’t play with ideal balance when moving back into his set. He’ll often struggle to mirror if he can’t win early on passing plays.
  • His kick slide is inconsistent, and he’ll often set too high; he’ll get pushed around by speed-to-power guys in the NFL.
  • Has a bad habit of panicking on reach blocks, lunging, and grabbing rather than trusting his athleticism to get him in position, which could lead to frequent flags for holding.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
