HEIGHT: 6'3"

WEIGHT: 290

POSITIVES

— Very good initial quickness and burst to close space and establish first meaningful contact on defenders in the zone run game and on back blocks

— Can hook shades, complete overtakes on combination blocks and transition into the drive-phase late in the rep to steer and widen defenders out of lanes

— Takes adequate angles on climbs but closes space very quickly to square up, latch and steer slow-trigger backers away from the ball

— Fluidly shifts his weight and redirects to mirror and slow down counter moves across his face

— Can work his way around power moves in pass protection using jump sets to eliminate the rusher's runway, gain quick control and die slowly in his anchor

NEGATIVES

— Below average mass, length and play strength leave him routinely stalemated and pried open on base blocks

— Will get lifted, pressed and walked back in his anchor against the bull-rush from head-up rushers
