Ourlads Scouting Analysis

Four year starter, Powell, OH. Was a Consensus All-American, Big 10 Offensive Lineman of the Year and first team All-Big 10 in 2025. Has started 41 consecutive games for the Hoosiers. Shows a good wide base, and is very technically sound at his position. Hands and feet work together in unison. Hand placement helps guide rushers up the field. Shows good timing in when to get off his block to help inside. Shuts off the inside move of the defender. Short choppy steps in run blocking. He’s a finisher. Slips up to linebacker effortlessly. Mirrors a defender well with his solid footwork. Can get bulled from his upright stance. Needs to show he can anchor in against the bull rush. Base narrows down occasionally on double team blocks. Sometimes gives up too much ground on pass sets. There is a lot to like in this player. He will enter the draft a well-schooled, experienced next level tackle.
