H.S. Scouting Report

Evaluated 07/01/2023

Andrew Ivins
Andrew Ivins Director of Scouting

A big-framed defensive lineman that’s well traveled and will be at his fourth high school in as many years. Measurements are a bit dated, but is believed to be over 6-foot-6 and blessed with a near 6-foot-8 wingspan. Agile mover for someone of his stature that can swiftly change directions and hound ball carriers. Longer reach allows him to obstruct passing lanes and make things difficult for opposing quarterbacks. Appears to be pretty flexible in the lower half, which makes it easy for him to find leverage in the middle. However, must continue to evolve as a pass rusher and learn how to consistently disengage from blockers if he wants to reach his full potential and be a three-down lineman. One of the more unique evaluations in the 2024 cycle after missing a chunk of his junior season. Has the size and length to be a true difference-maker at the Power Five level, but will need to buy into the process and embrace life in the trenches.
