Lamont Rogers

Big-bodied offensive tackle prospect with unverified size but undoubtedly requisite height and mass. Need to get a concrete idea of arm length and wingspan. Believed to be in the 6-6, 300+ range early in his junior season. Plays to his size in the running game. Shows above average get-off juice. Good drive blocker once locked on. Occasionally flashes some encouraging punch. Promising basketball context suggests immense developmental ceiling in movement ability and pass protection. Crafty post scorer on the hardwood who plays with situational nuance. No surprise that feet seem ahead of hands at this point in development. That basketball functionality can more consistently translate to the field in balance and body control. Holds his own in pass protection, particularly at point of engagement, but appears susceptible to defenders who possess secondary rush ability. Can get wider and deeper in his pass set, but will need to stay vigilant vs. inside counters. Naturally high center of gravity compromises leverage consistency and could get exploited by shorter, powerful defenders who can get inside his frame. Bona fide high-major O-line prospect with tackle traits. Could become a quality multi-year starter at the P5 level with an NFL Draft ceiling.
