Strengths: Displays excellent size and strength for the position. Road grader who locks on and resets the line of scrimmage in the run game. Displays excellent athleticism on designed pulls and creates lanes for runners when getting to the second level. Uses size, strength, and leverage to make himself an effective pass blocker. Mirrors pass rush moves well and uses good footwork to keep rusher in front of him. Passes off blocks and switches assignments well, maintaining effectiveness as a blocker. High effort player who doesn't take plays off and looks for blocks.

Weaknesses: Plays at a nearly standing level which will allow opposing DTs to get under and move him at the next level. Needs to bend knees more and play lower. Relies heavily on size and strength to win and will need better technique at the next level. Places hands outside too often which will lead to holding calls at the next level, needs to get hands inside to maximize leverage and strength.

Other: Classic "Boom or Bust" prospect. Good OL coach could make him All-Pro.

Player Comparison: Ben Grubbs
