College Statistics

Strengths

• Displays disciplined hand placement and solid punch timing that helps neutralize college-level speed rushers attempting to turn the corner
• Shows good patience in his pass sets, rarely overcommitting to initial moves while working to maintain balance through contact
• Finishes blocks in the run game with effort, consistently staying engaged through the whistle on combo blocks
• Demonstrates adequate lateral agility for his size, using good footwork to mirror most Mountain West edge rushers
• Processes line stunts and basic twists reasonably well, showing functional awareness when passing off assignments to guards
• Recovers from initial losses better than most, using effort and determination to salvage broken plays
• Maintains consistent effort regardless of game situation, playing with the same intensity whether ahead or behind
• Shows solid understanding of blocking angles in zone schemes, reaching the second level with decent efficiency

Areas to Improve

• Lacks ideal height, with below-average arm length that NFL edge rushers will exploit
• Struggles to anchor against legitimate bull rushers, often giving ground when power rushers get into his chest
• Displays inconsistent hand strength and grip, allowing defenders to disengage and shed blocks too easily
• Gets caught lunging and overextending on reach blocks, whiffing on athletic linebackers at the second level
• Bends at the waist too frequently, compromising his base and losing leverage battles against stronger defenders
