Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 75.23 (Chance to start)

Pro Comparison: D.J. Reader

Strengths:

Wide-bodied NT with ballerina feet when deploying his spin move at close to 340 pounds. Quick first step that stalls out in a hurry but will threaten the line of scrimmage with it often. Gets low and anchors like champ against doubles. Good block-defeater in the run game and he will hustle from the backside to make tackles. Works hard to get around a blockers edge and will push the pocket. Well-rounded NT with high-end glimpses of new-age athleticism. 

Weaknesses:

Good, not overwhelming power. Teams that get him going lateral often can limit his impact. Fair amount of his rushes are high and don't have much plan to them. Shorter arms that most NTs his size.

Accolades:

  • 2021: Fourth-most run-stops in FBS (24)
  • 2021: Career-high 9.5 TFL
