Ohrnberger, tackle Gerald Cadogan and Rimington Trophy-winning center A.Q. Shipley all made first-team All-Big Ten. Ohrnberger's toughness inside fit in Penn State's "Spread HD" perfectly; NFL teams using a zone-blocking system will find Ohrnberger a good fit.

Positives: Strong mauler with nasty attitude. … Quick and strong hand placement inside his man's jersey. … Good enough foot quickness to angle his tackle inside to create a hole or to reach linebackers at the second level. … Handles quick linebackers well at the point of attack. … Quick set in pass pro. … Anchors well against most tackles and will toss them to the ground if they give up their leverage. … Blocks well on the move, opening cutback lanes for the running back.

Negatives: Undersized, lacking height and width, but a bit large in the middle. … Is not a great athlete. … Will struggle to move larger tackles. … Doesn't have a dominant punch. … Whiffs against blitzing linebackers and can be over-armed by taller, quicker tackles. … Would be a better fit at center than guard if he can make the move.
