Draft Profile: Bio
Roderick Kearney from Orange Park High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. Following high school, Kearney opted to join Florida.In 2024 as a freshman Kearney saw action in just 2 games and played a total of 13 snaps for the Gators. He allowed no QB hurries, no QB hits, and no sacks while playing sparingly.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Technician as a pass protector, playing with a wide base and very good balance. Kearney has heavy hands, but more impressively, Kearney is consistent with his kick slide and shows impressive lateral movement.
- Exhibits good patience in pass protection, sitting back in his set rather than leaning and lunging.
- Coordinated when moving to the second level as a run blocker, capable of landing blocks on the move.
- Uses his hands well, with good hand placement to maximize his powerful punch. He shows impressive coordination between his upper and lower body when moving in pass protection.
- Shows a good feel for combo blocks, and he displays good quickness and flexibility when moving to the second level, capable of sealing the back side on reach blocks
- Kearney is a work in progress with high-end physical traits. He’s extremely light on his feet for a 300-pounder, a natural knee bender who plays with balance and leverage.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Not great in space and tends to lose power the farther Kearney has to move; he doesn’t finish as well on the second level as he does battle in the phone booth around the line of scrimmage.
- Is more of a phone-booth blocker who has limited range. He’s also going to be somewhat limited as a pass protector, especially when it comes to mirroring against quickness.
- Can struggle to stay engaged, especially on the second level. His hand placement can be sloppy, costing him power.
