Scouting Report: Strengths
- Quick-footed with smooth movement skills to cover a large area. Rangy with above average lateral ability. Bursts off the snap and sets up quickly with little wasted motion.
- Gouraige 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.
- A smooth mover and covers a lot of ground, working hard to mirror rushers; agile and keeps his feet moving.
- He flashes power and nastiness in the run game, able to win at the point of attack and athletic enough to get out as a pulling blocker before landing blocks on the move at the second level.
- Coordinated when moving to the second level as a run blocker, capable of landing blocks on the move.
- Gouraige will have a chance to develop as a right tackle or possibly inside at guard, where Gouraige could be an interesting prospect for a zone-blocking team. If nothing else, that versatility is enough to make him at least a quality reserve.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Has the traits to improve, but Gouraige gets impatient in his set, lunging and reaching, and generally playing with poor balance at times. Gouraige is inconsistent with his kick slide.
- Not great in space and tends to lose power the farther he 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.
- As a pass protector, he gets caught reaching and lunging when matched up against quickness.
