POSITIVES
— Firm understanding of how to play long, keeping defenders at his fingertips and maintaining a flat-back posture to keep his head out of the block
— Loose, fluid mover with very good lower-half mobility, burst and quickness
— Has the range needed to expand his set points, redirect and protect his edges in pass protection
— Efficient zone run blocker with the quicks, timing and feel to cut-off the backside, work combinations, timely release and pick off backers at the second-level
— Plays with an edge and consistently works to drive, strain and finish blocks with enough power to generate knockdowns
NEGATIVES
— Lean build with middling sand and mass
— Shows some jerky, rigid footwork in his pass sets that leave him vulnerable to being manipulated out of position by stutters and hesitations
