Scouting Report: “Large human with an intriguing combination of coordination, natural strength, and size at offensive tackle. Measured at 6-foot-6.75, 323 pounds with a 34-inch arm and 10-inch hands at Rivals Five-Star before his senior season. Has a large frame that is already filled out. Lines up at left tackle for his high school team. Shows flashes of dominance as a run blocker. Bends defenders to his will as a drive blocker. Can be a freight train rolling downhill when pulling and working to the second level. Shows heavy hands and gives up little ground once engaged. Plays with a good understanding of body positioning. Competitive and physical in the camp setting, flashing pop in his hands in 1-on-1s, and reactive quickness in his pass set. Junior season accounts for most of his varsity experience as he missed much of his sophomore year with injury and was on JV as a freshman.
“A top high school basketball player with a high level of skill and coordination on the hardwood, receiving mid-major offers. A good, not great athlete. Can continue improving his flexibility as he can play high and has some rigidity in his movements. Considerable improvement, power, coordination, and a ready-made build make him one of the top prospects at the position in the 2026 cycle.” – Rivals Director of Scouting Charles Power.
