2024 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about KINGSLEY SUAMATAIA:
BYU | HT: 6045 | WT: 326 | 40 time: 5.04 | Arm: 3414 | Hand: 1058 | Wing: 8218
Two-year starter. All-Big 12 in 2023. Former five-star recruit that was wanted by everyone coming out of high school. Backup at Oregon in 2021 prior to transferring to BYU in 2022. Started for one season at right tackle while eventual NFL draft pick Blake Freeland manned the blind side. Shifted over to left tackle in 2023. Has a rare blend of tools that NFL coaches want to work with and develop. His natural power, size, and athleticism do not come around often and he did not allow a sack in 22 of 23 career starts. The production on surface level is attractive, but the occasional lapse in concentration and overall sloppy feel to his bend and body control will create the need for some extra time on the bench. He will need to improve subtle techniques, but his ceiling is that of a quality starting right or left tackle. Top tier speed and power, a rare athlete for the position. Uses length and heavy hands to stifle his target right away and shows both the desire and ability to finish. Creates angles with his torso to make himself even wider and longer. A finisher’s mentality that has a lethal knockout blow. Creates tremendous push in the run game. Absorbs defenders and can deaden them in their tracks. Will get himself into trouble with lower body bend issues. Plays too upright and shows frequent sluggish movement when it comes to reaction speed and sudden change of direction. Hands are not always accurate and his ability to recover against speed can be a struggle.
OSR:6/50. Draft projection: 1st/2nd round
