– Excels in double-team and combo blocks
– Able to execute climbs and pulls to hit his landmarks
– Very physical player who shows awesome effort in finishing blocks
– Squares up and mirrors well against rushers with his fluid movement and solid base
– Adept at deciphering and responding to line games and stunts
– No injury history, dependable player

THE BAD
– Can play too high out of his stance at times, which allows his chest to be maneuvered and caved
– Occasionally struggles with maintaining balance and positioning in sustained blocks
– Thrown off consistently by delayed rushers and blitzers
– Lacks consistency in utilizing length effectively
– Needs improved footwork to enhance block securing and lateral movement
– Hand carriage is too low and wide more than it should be
