Bio: Second
team All-Conference selection the past two seasons. Moved into the starting
lineup as a red-shirt freshman though he missed time as a sophomore
with a fractured ankle.
Pos: Nasty and
explosive blocker with marginal athletic skills. Quick off the snap, stays
square and works to finish his blocks. Jolts defenders with his hands, looks for someone to hit and
helps out linemates. Heady,
displays a good feel for the position and uses all his faculties to turn
opponents out, opening holes for the running game. Tough and plays through injury.
Neg: Lacks the dominant base, body adjustment and
abilities to play in space. Minimally
effective on the second level.
Analysis: Football intelligence and tenacity could endear
him to a coach's heart and help him find a way onto a final roster. |
