Had starts at both right tackle and guard in college and has NFL Preseason starts at both positions. Rutherford is a similarly tall, strong prospect who we think can also swing between those spots.

High school left tackle who also has a wrestling background. That can be seen in his run blocking. Very physical and finishes blocks. Can get leverage despite being taller than his competition. Gets the job done in pass pro currently but that is an area where he will need continued refinement. Style of play and athletic profile seem best suited for right tackle long term with guard as a possibility as well. Road grader with toughness who should find his way into a Power Four starting line-up in time.
