Four-year starter at right tackle awarded All-Conference honors
after his sophomore campaign. Missed half his senior season after a
major knee injury.
Pos:
Big, strong right tackle prospect with both size and growth
potential. Stout at the point, controls opponents with his hands and
displays good punch. Keeps his feet moving, makes effective use of
blocking angles and engulfs opponents. Intelligent, keeps his head on
a swivel and stays with blocking assignments. Flashes some nastiness
and attacks assignments.
Neg:
Struggles adjusting, lacks lateral blocking range and has
difficulty stopping speedy pass rushers. Late off the snap into
blocks, not light on his feet and marginally effective in space. 2005-He received the Outstanding Offensive Lineman of the year award, earned honorable mention All-Pac-10 honors, and named to ESPN.com's All Mayday Team, honoring player who have demonstrated exemplary toughness throughout the season.
