Strengths

• Finishes and doesn't quit; competitor with a positive attitude and leadership traits that coaches admire.
• Dips shoulder and moves his feet to get outside leverage when needed. Strong and low coming out of his stance, effective in short-yardage situations.
• 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.
• Awareness is above-average for his limited experience. Sells trap block and can turn to seal. Fluid getting to and adjust at the second level.
• 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.

Weaknesses

• Struggles to be consistent blocking in motion and doesn't have the natural foot quickness to cover a lot of ground.
• Susceptible to speed rushers. Has only average quickness off the snap and doesn't possess the acceleration or arm length to corral defenders once they cross his face.
• Loses leverage battles and plays with high pad level. Can be late off the snap.
• Stops his feet after initial contact, relying on length but allowing defender to get the corner or spin inside.
• Flashes the ability to move his man with his hands, but is not yet consistent in this area.
