Florida | Hometown: Sparr, FL | HT: 6045 | WT: 304 | 40 time: 5.10 | Hand: 1000 | Arm: 3212 | Wing: 7934
Two year starter. First-team All-America and first-team All-SEC. He initially committed to Florida State, before transferring to Florida. Red-shirted his freshman year in 2021. Over the course of three seasons started 37 games at center. Fills the bill as a tough and smart center. A good team leader, this sound technician has shown the ability to work with the guards to solidify combination blocks. Excellent reach step. Very solid understanding of what the defense is presenting him as it occurs. A great competitor who has a strong punch with his non-snapping hand. His over 80/100 run and passing blocking grades are among the best for all offensive linemen. Runs very well for a big man. A two-time team captain, he shows his leadership at every snap. Shows good light feet in pass protection to slide and protect in the A gaps. Shows good quickness and knee bend. Delivers a solid blow. Doesn't miss a snap against top level competition. The fierce competitor has allowed only one sack this past season in over 400 pass attempts. Shows excellent core strength. Needs to work on sustaining blocks. A bit short armed. Can use more functional weight strength in his lower body. Needs to better recognize those ends twisting inside. Needs to become more physical, particularly when dealing with the next level bull rushers. Must work on keeping his feet when working up to the linebackers. Has some issues reaching the tackle in his A gap. Needs to sustain blocks in the run game. A solid early pick, with a low pad level, who will anchor in your offensive line for years to come.
OSR:24/40. 10-1.74. Draft projection: 2nd/3rd round
