Draft Profile: Bio
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree in Norwell, Massachusetts, where Ozzy Trapilo followed his late father Steve's footsteps to Boston College. The younger Trapilo arrived as a coveted four-star recruit, carrying the weight of legacy and expectation on his broad shoulders. After a redshirt year in 2020, he steadily climbed the depth chart, earning spot starts at both guard positions before finding his home at tackle.Trapilo's evolution into an All-ACC performer mirrors his physical development. His 2023 campaign announced his arrival as a genuine NFL prospect, posting a clean sheet with zero sacks allowed in 363 pass-blocking snaps while anchoring an offensive line that bulldozed their way to nearly 200 rushing yards per game. The 2024 season saw him elevate his game further, earning First-Team All-ACC honors and establishing himself as one of the conference's premier pass protectors.
His journey from Boston College High School to becoming a cornerstone of the Eagles' offensive line speaks to both his physical gifts and technical development. With 36 career starts under his belt - primarily at right tackle - Trapilo has shown the durability and versatility that NFL teams covet, routinely playing every offensive snap and maintaining his effectiveness deep into games.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Uses his massive frame masterfully in pass protection, creating a gravitational pull that forces edge rushers to take wider angles and expand their arc unnecessarily
- Displays exceptional patience in his pass sets, rarely oversetting or lunging, allowing his length and size to work to maximum advantage
- Possesses vice-grip hand strength that, when paired with proper placement, completely neutralizes power rushers trying to work through his chest
- Shows impressive football IQ with consistent recognition of stunts and blitzes, maintaining composure when assignments get cloudy
- Demonstrates refined kick-slide technique that belies his size, covering ground efficiently while maintaining balance through his pass set
- Anchors down against bull rushes with remarkable consistency, absorbing initial shock and resetting his base to halt momentum
- Creates serious movement in the run game when he locks in with proper leverage, particularly effective on down blocks and double teams
- Brings nasty finishing attitude to sustain blocks through the whistle, showing the kind of edge that makes defensive linemen think twice about their rush plan
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Struggles to consistently play with proper pad level due to his height, allowing technically sound defenders to get under his pads and compromise his base
- Shows some hesitation when working to the second level, often arriving a count late which allows linebackers to cross his face and disrupt running lanes
- Can get caught oversetting against speed rushers, creating vulnerability to inside counter moves that exploit his average lateral agility
- Gets overaggressive at times in pass protection, leaving his chest exposed to defenders with strong hand usage and technical rush plans
- Needs to improve consistency of hand placement in the run game to maximize his natural power and create more consistent movement at the point of attack
Scouting Report: Summary
Trapilo's calling card is his ability to stone-wall rushers in pass protection. He thrives in traditional drop-back passing schemes where his natural anchor and refined kick-slide can shine. The technical foundation is there for immediate contribution as a swing tackle with clear runway to push for starting snaps at right tackle by mid-season.The run game shows more peaks and valleys on tape. When he gets his hands inside and plays with proper leverage, Trapilo moves defenders off their spot with authority, especially on down blocks and double teams. But his second-level timing needs work - he's often a beat late climbing to linebackers and struggles to adjust in space. A power-based run scheme maximizes his strengths while his zone blocking develops.
Put him in a system built around pocket passing with a mix of gap and power runs, and Trapilo can develop into a rock-solid starter on the right side. The technical polish in pass pro provides immediate value, while his mean streak and natural power hint at untapped potential in the ground game. Smart offensive line coaches will see a third-round pick who can shore up depth immediately while competing for significant snaps sooner rather than later.
