Draft Scouting Report:
Rating: 76.80 (Chance to start)
Pro Comparison: Mark Glowinski
Strengths:
Good base in pass sets and stays in balance with good hand usage in tight areas vs. interior defensive linemen. Combo blocks well and even shows ability to get to third blocked defender because of mobility. Can redirect pass rushers while keeping his head up for twists or stunts. Solid blocker in space when asked to pull.
Weaknesses:
Very good at diagnosing his responsibilities and being in the right place, but can sometimes get too high in his pass sets and give up ground to edge rushers. Can get walked back into lap of the quarterback if the defensive tackle gets underneath pads -- needs to work on maintaining a low center of gravity.
Accolades:
- 2021: All-Big 12 second team
- 37 career starts at LG
