Scouting Report: Strengths

• Perfect size for the position - (6-1 220lbs) with a solid muscular build looks like he was carved out of stone
• Very physical runner; keeps his legs churning on contact. Rarely goes down with the first hit. Lowers shoulder into defenders and shows pure determination with natural running skills to break free and stiff-arm and spin move to dodge tacklers.
• Has decent hands despite not being utilized much in the passing game
• A real work-horse who gives it all on every play
• Does not possess top breakaway speed, though he's rarely caught from behind.
• Possesses quick feet and some straight-line speed but doesn't have the elite burst to be a constant big-play threat. Improving patience as a runner, following pulling guards, and makes good decisions on his cut.
• Some decent tackle avoidance skills including an impressive ability to hurdle defenders
• A downhill runner who picks up momentum as he goes and does a nice job absorbing contact between the tackles - physical with good pad level.
• Demonstrated the ability to track the ball over his shoulder. Good flexibility and balance to adjust to the poorly thrown pass. Good vision and patience for screens
• Underrated blocker. Cognizant pass defender who is willing to meet a linebacker in the gap.
• Has the feet and feel running between the tackles and in the open field. He has very good vision and the patience to pick through defenses
• Has the good vision to find the hole and get North-South. Gets a good initial push and always seems to be falling forward for a positive gain. A hard runner with a workhorse-type back mentality.
• Became a much-improved run blocker and an excellent run blocker in 2021 - developed full-back like skills
