Arizona | HT: 6051 | WT: 244 | 40 time: 4.61 | Arm: 3158 | Hand: 0938 | Wing: 7714
Two-year starter. Transfer from Southern Utah prior to the 2022 season. All-Pac 12 honorable mention last fall. Aligns both in-line and split out for Arizona’s offense. A tall prospect with a skinny frame, short arms, and shows plenty of room for growth. Study base when climbing to block linebackers and nickels. Uses decent foot quickness and movement skills to sustain blocks. Solid in pass protection with a decent punch. Locates holes in zone coverage to sit and provide the quarterback an easy completion. Soft hands with a decent catch radius to pluck balls out of the air. Decent toughness at the catch point to come down with catches in contested situations. Shows great effort after the catch to get every additional yard he can with strength to gain yards-after-contact. Stiff coming off the line and lacks explosiveness. Needs more assertiveness when engaging as a run blocker. Must work his hands inside to prevent exposing his chest. Lacks the strength and needs to improve his foot drive to move edge defenders off the line-of-scrimmage. He can miss blocks at the second level with bad angles. A stiff athlete who struggles to change direction fluidly as a route-runner. He lacks the speed to be a true deep threat.
2023 Stats: 45-528, 11.7 ypr, 4 TD. OSR:6/13. Draft projection: 5th-7th round
