Strengths

• Finishes and doesn't quit; competitor with a positive attitude and leadership traits that coaches admire.
• Anchors against larger defenders in the middle; resets hands to maintain distance. Athletic enough to help on nose tackle then pick up twist or late blitzer. Mirrors quick interior rushers. Looks to help the center when uncovered.
• He's infinitely coachable and athletically gifted with the ideal frame, physique, weight distribution, knee bend and hand strength to be molded into a special blocker.
• Plays with appropriate wide base and intelligence, instincts and agility to seal the edge. Aggressive extending with power to punch and looks comfortable in space.
• A better than expected athlete who steadily improved in pass protection. Stout at the point of attack and maintains a wide base.

Weaknesses

• Will punch at smaller defenders instead of latching on and is more of a mauler than mover in the running game. Can improve maintaining outside leverage when doubling the nose. Ducks his head and gets too upright, causing him to fall off second-level blocks.
• Flashes the ability to move his man with his hands, but is not yet consistent in this area.
• Needs to prove his worth in a straight-ahead running game.
• Needs to work on his technique in pass protection, using more consistent leverage and continuing to move his feet.
• Finesse blocker with average arm length who doesn't use his hands well to win at the point of attack.
