Miami | Hometown: Fort Worth, TX | HT: 6030 | WT: 298 | 40 time: 5.30 | Hand: 0938 | Arm: 3200 | Wing: 7800
One year starter. Third-team All-ACC this past season. Played at Alabama (2021-2023) and TCU (2024) before transferring to Miami and having the opportunity to start in the national championship game. He's the son of former NFL first-round pick Blake Brockermeyer. Runs well and is very athletic overall. A smaller center, he showed up well against some premier players in Miami's title charge. A seasoned veteran of the football battle, started 28 games at center. A guy you want in the middle of your line, has potential that he hasn't achieved yet. Shows a good first step off the ball and good movement at the point. Gets his hands involved in a violent way. Shows a good working knowledge of the zone technique. Plays with an overall calmness that allows the game to come to him. Shows good recognition of the defenses twist and line stunts. Moves well in pass protection and can punch and recoil with solid footwork. Can overset and lose his man by quick out to in moves inside. Can be bull rushed by powerful interior defenders. Better with helpside and slide protection than one on one. Needs to settle down in his pass protection and maintain positioning. Needs to do a better job getting to the second level as he will try to run defenders past their aiming point, which is not always successful. Gives up his pads a bit too quickly. Needs to work on sitting back and letting his weight work to his advantage. Because of lack of arm length he struggles against head up defenders. Has a chance as a developmental backup in a zone style offense.
Draft projection: 7th round/PFA
