What little film I could find shows a very large individual who shouldn't be as fast as he is. I mean, he flashes freakish speed at that size. Is he rock solid confirmed o-line in college? I would give him a shot at interior d-line. Big, fast, and he can probably eat double teams; isn't the worst combination in the world.

I would like to see the upper body strength numbers on him because it looks like he just uses his body to get in front of people and then bulldozes them with his leg strength and size when they can't get around him. If he can succeed in the weight room and get some solid technique in, this guy will play.

Big kid. Big get by the staff.

And he's just a baby! He'll be only 17 when he enrolls at PSU!
The age can’t be underscored. That’s a rarity these days, specifically at private schools where most kids “reclassify”. The fact that he’ll only be 17 when he enrolls and he still has a lot of time to develop and get even stronger must be pretty exciting for the coaching staff.

The film I have seen on him people go flying when he lays his hands on them or get put on a blocking sled going backwards. Give him some time here for being so young in the weight room and with Traut and this kid has a chance to be a very good player.

Age relative to peers and performance is becoming a bigger factor in NFL talent evaluation. This certainly fits the bill.
