H.S. Scouting Report

Evaluated 06/07/2022

GabeBrooks
Gabe Brooks 247Sports Scouting Analyst

Looks tall and long with monstrous bulking capacity. Wears current mass well and should easily add more bulk in college. Has the look of an offensive tackle but signs point to long-term D-line projection. Will likely fit various personnel looks given physical tools.

Good athletic profile with track and field context. Texas 4A regional champ in the discus (148-8) and regional qualifier in the shot put (48-4). That close-quarters power flashes on tape in disengaging ability. Size and strength allow anchor-dropping, lane-occupying effectiveness vs. the run.

Quite raw technically, especially with hand violence and move set. Good tackle production (five-plus per game as a junior) for an interior DL but needs to expand pass-rushing repertoire and fundamental technique at the point of attack to maximize impact playmaking abilities. Improving reactive quickness and functional athleticism will also help in that category.

Big body who looks to be quite a piece of clay to be molded at the next level. Physical characteristics and athletic profile project to the Power Five level with ample long-term developmental upside.
