Projection

Power 4 Starter

One of the more promising offensive tackle prospects to come out of South Florida in recent years as he’s pushing 6-foot-6. Re-shaped his body between junior and senior seasons and got down to under 300 pounds. Aggressive at the point of attack more times than not. Will latch onto a defender and do his best to open up lanes for the run game by steering them out of the away. Has gotten better and better in pass protection and improved his kick step significantly since he first emerged on the recruiting scene at one of the nation's more storied high school programs. Still has a ways to go from a technical standpoint, but moves and bends better than most individuals his size. Most likely will need a few years to adjust to the speed of the college game and add some functional strength, but has a chance to develop into a starting left or right tackle for a Power 5 program given frame. Could also get a look at one of the guard spots. Should undergo even more of a physical transformation once eating at a training table. Has a chance to eventually play on Sundays if he keeps progressing.
