Notes: Giovanni Pancotti was one of the first high school players to commit to Texas Tech in the 2016 recruiting cycle.
He played in a run-first offense meaning that his specialty is obviously run blocking, which is not necessarily bad. Run blocking offensive linemen often have a nasty streak to them and enjoy mauling defenders, qualities that offensive line coach Lee Hayes highly covets.
