Kentucky | Hometown: Covington, GA | HT: 6047 | WT: 320 | 40 time: 4.93 | Hand: 0914 | Arm: 3414 | Wing: 8000
Two year starter. Transferred from Florida to Kentucky for his final two seasons. Saw limited action at Florida, and while at Kentucky, started every game the past two seasons. A smart player who rarely makes a mental mistake. He is strong in the running game with growing skills in pass protection. Plays an edgy and nasty game. He's held his own against good competition playing in the SEC. Shows a good low pad level off the ball with a strong punch. Stays behind his punch with shoulders to the line of scrimmage. Has controlled choppy feet. Has speed and pop when pulling in the power game. Has a strong anchor against powerful defenders. Patient hand and foot set with a firm protection as a result. Gave up no quarterback hits in 2025. Has long arms with strong hands, where he stops 'em. Has speed and pop when pulling in the power game. His feet need work in pass protection and need to be coordinated with his hands. Sometimes punches too wide, consistency on his aiming point is needed. Hands will be late at times. His overall foot speed doesn't measure at times to how quick he really is. Needs better angles when climbing up to linebackers. Lateral quickness can be improved upon. Hasn't played any other position except right guard but started taking some reps at right tackle at the Senior Bowl. While successful in pass protection, the scheme played a role. He could be a good prospect at right guard, however may need more tools in the box.
OSR:10/40. 10-1.74. Draft projection: 6th/7th round
