Georgia Tech | Hometown: Royston, GA | HT: 6034 | WT: 318 | 40 time: 5.05 | Hand: 1000 | Arm: 3338 | Wing: 8014
Four year starter. The 2025 All-American was also a two time first-team All-ACC (2024, 2025) and first-team All-CUSA in 2023. With 42 starts over his career he left his mark at both Middle Tennessee and Georgia Tech. A productive player in a very active offense at Georgia Tech. Had to use his full toolbox with trap pulls, power folds, and screen slips in addition to just being a big nasty driving them off the ball guy. When uncovered and cleaning up with the tackle, he leaves opponents in the dirt. Sustains his blocks with choppy controlled footwork. Shows good balance in pass protection, delivers a strong punch and is reset ready. Mirrors well and can pick up stunts. Shows good grip strength with his hands. At the Shrine Bowl he showed the ability to snap the ball, giving him the versatility to play all the offensive line positions. Very competitive with a nasty ability to finish. Shows a strong anchor against the bull rush. Has heavy feet which slows down the process of recovery. Has a hard time locating the target at the second level. Needs to better coordinate his feet and hands. Needs to sometimes be more conscious of his pad level. Pass protection is still a work in progress, feet and hands together. Has shown many of the skills needed to achieve next level success, just needs to refine all of them. His versatility will fill some club's basic needs. Could be a mid-draft selection.
OSR:16/40. 10-1.81. Draft projection: 2nd/3rd round
