Strengths
- Provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique.
- Combines strength and footwork to fill holes inside, as well. Recovers from cut blocks or falling on his way to make a tackle.
- Strong tackler. Has good power in hands and can anchor, shed, and chase.
- Surprising athletic ability for a player his size with rare movement skills. Explosive hitter and looks to wrap and drive the ballcarrier into the ground.
- Strong, stout interior presence who often requires double team blocks to keep him from clogging running lanes. Short, thick legs and thick trunk which aid him in anchoring.
Weaknesses
- He remains raw as a pass rusher and doesn't have the foot speed to chase down ballcarriers.
- Lacks closing speed and inconsistent quickness off the snap prevents him from being an elite pass rusher.
- Short arms could lead to problems against NFL-caliber offensive linemen with longer arms able to get into his chest.
- Isn't able to consistently shed blocks and makes plays in the hole.
- Appears to have only average arm length, and ballcarriers too often are able to shield him with a stiff-arm.

For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.
*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
