Phil Loadholt, OL

The massive offensive tackle teamed with All-American guard Duke Robinson to give the Sooners one of the largest -- and most punishing -- offensive lines in college football.

Oklahoma went on to shatter NCAA records for scoring, as its total of 716 points topped the previous record of 656 points set by Hawaii in 2006.

Robinson delivered 14 touchdown-resulting blocks -- Loadholt chipped in with 16 -- helping the offense total 96 touchdowns for 2008, which bettered the old NCAA season record of 89 touchdowns by Nebraska in 1983. The Sooners also became the first team in collegiate annals to score 60 or more points in five straight contests, as their left tackle registered 94 knockdowns in his final season.

The Colorado native attended Fountain Fort Carson High School, where he also was a standout basketball and track and field athlete. Named the Colorado Springs Area Player of the Year as a senior, he recorded 113 tackles as a defensive lineman, adding eight touchdowns on offense as a tight end and H-back. The two-time gridiron team captain also earned All-State accolades as a junior and senior.

Loadholt led the basketball team to the state title game as a senior. He averaged 17.1 points, 11.2 rebounds and three blocked shots per game, garnering All-State recognition. He also excelled in the discus for the track team, capturing the state title.

Loadholt had originally intended to attend Louisiana State, but was a non-qualifier coming out of high school. He then enrolled at Garden City Community College, twice receiving All-American honors (2005-06). As a sophomore, he was named the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference Lineman of the Year. The left offensive tackle produced 93 knockdowns in 2006 and had 113 knockdowns during the 2005 season.

The recipient of Garden City's Student Support Service Award and named to the 3.0 Student Excellence List, Loadholt was rated the 17th-best overall junior college prospect in the country on Super Prep's JUCO 100 List. He was also rated the 20th-best overall prospect in the JUCO ranks by Rivals.com.

Loadholt enrolled at Oklahoma in 2007. He earned All-American honorable mention from Sports Illustrated, adding All-Big Twelve Conference first-team accolades from the Dallas Morning News and second-team recognition from the league's coaches. He started all 14 games at left offensive tackle, where the 360-pounder produced 118 key blocks/knockdowns and graded an overall 80.5% for blocking consistency. He was also credited with 13 touchdown-resulting blocks, but suffered through a rash of penalties, as he was flagged a team-high 13 times.

Loadholt received All-Big Twelve first-team honors from the league's coaches and the Associated Press as a senior. He was suspended for the season opener after he was arrested in June for suspicion of driving under the influence and transporting an open beer can. He returned to start the final 13 games, receiving an 85.62% grade for blocking consistency. He led the team and the conference's offensive linemen with 16 touchdown-resulting blocks, showing more quickness at 340 pounds to record eight blocks downfield. He also showed better field awareness, reducing his penalty total from 13 in 2007 to four in his final season.

Positives: Potentially dominant drive blocker. Massive man who can engulf his opponent, turn him away from the ballcarrier and pancake him to the ground. Looks to intimidate. Only adequate initial quickness off the snap, but has a deep kick-slide and the long arms to keep the pass rusher at bay. Natural knee bender who plays with impressive leverage and balance for a man of his size. Better lateral quickness than initial.

Negatives: Bit of a "tweener." Too often beaten off the snap by ends to remain at left tackle and might even have to be moved inside -- where his height would be a liability. Marginal lateral quickness to recover when beaten initially. Too often relies on his size, failing to sustain blocks as effectively as he should.

GENERAL REPORT: GRADE: 6.22

Body Structure: Has a massive frame with outstanding muscle development and thickness throughout his upper and lower body. With his long arms, big bubble and large hands, he can easily absorb smaller defenders. Has excellent thigh and calf thickness with broad shoulders. He's massive but his frame is not soft or fleshy.

Athletic Ability: Needs to monitor his weight (has been as high as 380 pounds) and his girth can cause him to struggle staying low in his pads. He has worked hard during his senior year to improve his overall agility and increase his power base. For a player of his size, he shows good agility for his position. He lacks explosion, but his feet are quick enough and his balance functional enough to sustain blocks (just lacks the hip snap to redirect). He is no "dancing bear," but is lighter on his feet working down the line than one would expect. He flashes the ability to adjust working in the short area, but will revert to playing with a narrow base, at times. GRADE: 6.8

Football Sense: Was a non-qualifier entering college. Some are concerned that he will not be able to digest a complicated playbook. He is a work in progress in the mental aspect of the game, but takes well to hard coaching and will do whatever it takes to succeed. He will get taken out of his game and revert to foolish penalties, but as a senior, he seemed to be much more alert to his surroundings, evident by his 16 touchdown-resulting blocks and a very impressive reduction in penalties (from 13 in 2007 to four in 2008). GRADE: 5.8

Character: Loadholt had two off-field issues (suspicion of DUI/disorderly conduct) that could be character concerns. He has responded to tough coaching at Oklahoma and neither staff at OU or at Garden City has anything bad to say about him. He is still maturing off the field and is not a problem on the field. GRADE: 5.6

Competitiveness: Has good mental toughness and will not back down from a confrontation but isn't aggressive. He uses his body a bit as a crutch to lean into a defender, but he is a strong finisher who might not succeed all the time due to poor feet, but he will give the effort to make blocks down field. GRADE: 6.8

Work Habits: Needs to be pushed, but he does respond. Not the type to show aggression on every play, but he does work hard in the training room and appears to have "bought into the program" that hard work in the offseason pays off. While he does need structure, he is a team player who does what the coaches ask (just not a self-starter who can do things on his own). GRADE: 6.1

ATHLETIC REPORT

GRADE: 6.15

Initial Quickness: Too methodical coming out of his stance to create movement, other than using his body mass. Even though he lacks explosion out of his stance, it is rare to see him give up on a play and is the type that locates secondary targets to hit after delivering the initial block. When he uses his natural knee bend, he has good success to leverage (will get into trouble vs. the bull rush when he bends at the waist, failing to redirect). He has adequate quickness and foot speed, sliding and reaching his set point effectively, along with the size and strength to create movement and clear rush lanes, but needs to use his hands better to lock up and sustain. A player of his size needs to drive and maul better than he does, but he uses his body to wall off. He struggles in the open on trap plays, but has enough quickness (just must learn to lower his pads) to work in combination with the interior blockers on gap protection. GRADE: 5.4

Lateral Movement: Has decent quickness for a player his size, but does not always mirror defenders when working on the edge (slow to bring his feet), as he is too stiff to open up his hips to slide back and recover when he is beaten by a speed move. He needs to do a better job of staying square in his base, but can deliver adequate lateral movement working in the short area. His problems come because of poor balance, as he tends to leave his feet too much and is a liability if a team needs him to move into the second level. GRADE: 5.2

Balance/Stays On Feet: Has very good lower-body mass and thickness, but it does not translate into a strong anchor (gets up on his heels, causing him to lose balance). He lacks the body control and balance to recover quickly when beaten, but when he stays in front of an opponent, he uses his frame well to occupy and sustain. When he bends at the waist in the open, he gets off balance, but when he keeps his base wide, he will finish. His hand strength lets him control defenders playing over his head (lacks lateral agility to effectively slide and mirror vs. speed rushers) and started to show in 2008 that he has a better concept for knowing when to use his body to sit and anchor without overextended for blocks. GRADE: 5.9

Explosion/Pop: Stout at the point of attack when he plays with a wide base and is starting to show confidence in his reach to separate and pin the defender at the point of attack. Excels with phone booth combat, where his huge frame and outstanding wing span help him engulf defenders. He has just marginal-to-adequate foot quickness to slide and is not really an explosive hip roller, but is a physical drive blocker who uses his body mass effectively to push and move defenders off the line. Doesn't play with good leverage, struggles to keep his pads down and gets narrow-based and loses balance when asked to play in space.

Is a much better blocker in tight quarters, making him a more likely guard prospect, as he simply can't adjust to speed moves along the edge. Even at 340-plus pounds, he will need to drop weight and be more dominant with his initial surge if he is to have success at offensive guard. GRADE: 7.1

Run Blocking: Loadholt spends too much time on the ground as a drive blocker and needs to play on his feet better rather than trying to lunge and execute a low block. More comfortable walling and sealing off when working in the rush lanes, but with his size, a patient coach can teach him to use it to generate better pop on contact. He has strong hands to control (just inconsistent) and when he plays on his feet, he has enough range to sustain blocks. He will push and finish strongly, if he properly bends his knees on drive blocks. Despite these mechanical flaws, he does a good job of driving through defenders and has had good success using his body mass to gain movement off the snap. GRADE: 7.0

Pass Blocking: His heavy feet cause problems when asked to slide out and defend on the edge, making him a better candidate for right tackle or a shift inside to guard (will not be able to handle speed moves from left tackle in the NFL). His pass set is marginal -- trips over and crosses his feet rather than playing with a wide base to anchor. He looks hesitant when trying to maintain inside leverage and re-adjust back when the defender slides off his blocks. Can be beaten by the speed rush and quick counter moves, as he generally plays with a narrow base that sees him struggle to mirror and adjust in pass protection, but with improved hand placement and punch, he can get an advantage protecting the pocket. Crosses his feet and will struggle vs. counter moves, but when he drops his pads and uses his size, he will be able to sustain. GRADE: 6.3

Pulling/Trapping: Loadholt shows better quickness than expected on the short pulls when he is able to open his hips and get down the line of scrimmage to pick up on short traps (lacks consistency and a good pad level, but showed some areas of improvement here in 2008). Good on the short traps, but he needs to do a much better job of redirecting and shuffling his feet moving down the line. He is too much of a waist bender to be asked to do much on traps and pulls and when he does attempt to get to the second level, his feet will suddenly stop when trying to angle (will trip over them or take false steps before redirecting). GRADE: 6.3

Adjust on Linebacker Downfield: Struggles to reach and adjust when pulling into the second level (better working near the line). He is not consistent shooting his strong hands, but he has the upper-body strength to catch with extended arms and keep proper separation. When he gets overextended, he will lunge and miss in the open field. GRADE: 5.4

Use of Hands/Punch: Would expect better power to pop and jolt with his hands, but when he gets his mitts into an opponent's chest, the battle ends quickly. Loadholt uses his size to wall off defenders, showing proper hand usage to engage and punch his opponent (only when he keeps his hands inside). When he stays low in his pads and generates proper hand placement he does a good job of using his size to wall off on the edge. His hand jolt is inconsistent, but he has the upper-body power to rocks the defenders back on their heels. He gets too wide with his hands coming off the snap, which results in defenders having good success attacking his chest. Despite his size, a strong bull rush will walk him back, especially when working in-line. GRADE: 6.8

Reactions/Awareness: Scouts say that Loadholt needs to play with better field awareness and concentration, as he gets too "antsy" by a charging defender and is easily drawn offside, (resulting in 17 costly penalties in 27 games as a Sooner), but as a senior, he was much more alert to the snap cadence to cut down on his rash of false starts. He needs a patient coach to help him develop, but until 2008, there were doubts in scouting circles that he had the mental capability to respond. Being a junior college transfer, it might have taken him longer to adjust to major college life, but the Sooners staff says he needs just a few more reps than normal to retain and he showed in 2008 that he had a better grasp of his assignments than he showed as a junior. GRADE: 6.1

Compares To: MAX STARKS, Pittsburgh -- Might develop into a left tackle, but his lack of lateral range and explosion off the snap would make him a better fit on the right side or in the interior, as he is best when playing in a phone booth rather than working on an island. For a team that plays smash-mouth football, he could be an ideal fit, as you need a city to get around his massive frame. He just appears too stiff in his hips to trust him with protecting a quarterback's blind side at this stage of his game.

OVERALL GRADE: 6.16
