STRENGTHS
—Two-year starter at center who has experience at guard and brings both positional and schematic versatility.
—Excellent quickness from snap to block; quick to make contact with defenders.
—Great balance when locked up with a defender; rarely ends up on the ground and has good leg drive.
—Good enough lower-body flexibility and power to drive defenders in the run game, but it mostly shows up with his quickness when asked to get to the second level.
—Young prospect (turns 21 in June) who has tons of room for development in his technique and plenty of room on his frame for growth.
