Scouting
Report:
The
Good: Athletic,
explosive lineman in the Florida State mold.
Plays low to the ground with leverage,
has a terrific burst of closing speed and nicely redirects to the action.
Immediately
alters his angle of attack, quick and fluid changing directions which helps him
make plays laterally out to the flanks.
Excellent range and rarely off his feet.
The
Bad: Not big
or powerful, lacks the strong base and pushed off the line by opponents.
Having a very
non-descript campaign in 2002, not taking his game to the next level.
The
Skinny: A lot of upside
but would be best served staying in school another year developing his game
and his
body.
