Scouting Report

Assets
  • An incredibly strong, massive individual. A quintessential drive blocker with a thick frame and exceptional lower-body strength. Overwhelms defenders at the point of attack. Gets a good punch. Can be an effective run blocker when he anchors and latches on. Uses his head and will get good position on his opponent. Moves and slides very well for a huge man and can get out to the second level.
Flaws
  • A poor blocker in space. Doesn't have great footwork and will lunge at times. Except for his initial punch, he doesn't use his hands to his advantage. Takes the easy way out at times. Weight issues are a concern.
Career Potential
  • Very good prospect.
