Big, nimble offensive tackle who looks to be among the best at the position in the 2026 cycle. Has unverified size, listed at around 6-foot-6, 280 pounds. An easy, natural mover. Works to the second level effortlessly. Seeks out linebackers and looks to finish with authority. A bully in the run game. Plays with a nasty streak. Shows advanced pop in his hands. Has good flexibility with the ability to drop his weight and anchor on contact. Will need to continue refining his game and developing physically, but looks to be a top offensive lineman early on in 2026.
