NC State Wolfpack

Interior Offensive Line

Oklahoma

Texas Longhorns

Stout, physical interior offensive line prospect with a high floor as a center prospect. Measured in at around 6-foot-3, 295 pounds prior to his senior season. Owns a filled-out, barrel-chested build. Has average length and big hands. Showed well on the camp circuit prior to his senior season. Played left tackle as an underclassman before moving to center in his final prep campaign. A solid mover with good reactive quickness. Powerful and shows considerable grip strength once attached. Nasty and plays with an edge. Flashes pop in his hands on contact. Runs his feet once engaged and works to finish blocks. Moves fairly well to the second level. Still adjusting to the mechanics of playing center but will enter college with a year of experience at the position. Lack of length can show up in his pass protection at times. May be a center-only prospect long-term due to his dimensions. Projects as a high-floor prospect and likely multi-year starter in college.
