Draft Scouting Report:
Rating: 67.68 (Role player)
Pro Comparison: Alan Knott
Strengths:
Can drop anchor and establish leverage but not a powerful player overall. High football IQ. Leader on offense. Snaps out of his stance quick. Absorbs contact well.
Weaknesses:
Not a perfect fit for any one scheme but lack of size will require him to play in more of a wide zone blocking concept. Allows defenders on his hips too often. Would like to see him get his hands inside. Has trouble maintaining and controlling blocks on the second level.
Accolades:
- Two-time academic All-Big Ten
- 19 starts between 2019 and 2020
