Connor McLaughlin

Extremely long and initially lean frame. Has added good weight in the last year and should be able to carry plenty more at the collegiate level. Confident prospect who displays aggression more times than not. Above average short area explosion with some pop. Gains ground with great strides - enough to play effective football at the second level. More advanced run blocker at the prep level. Some redirection polish early on. Desire to bury opponents through the whistle. Efficient mover given assignment with some leverage discipline. Comfortable at right tackle through three years of high school. Room to improve base and launch point out of stance and upon contact. Could stand to play with better balance. Will need to commit to strength and nutrition program to fill out before contributing at the Power Five level. Should eventually develop into starting role at tackle and become a mid-to-late round NFL draft choice.
