A transition to guard shouldn’t be a problem for Williams because he is so fluid with his movements. He pulls effectively and blocks down well in the run game.
As a pass blocker, he has a solid first step and picks up blitzes well. This is a big offseason in the weight room for Williams, but he has a ton of upside.

Carpenter is a good athlete who also plays basketball at Pasadena.
He’s great as a pass blocker because he uses his length to his advantage by keeping the defender away from him. He defends the bull rush well and often has the defender fall on his face.
Carpenter is good at replacing his hands when the defender bats them away. He sometimes gives up too much ground in the run game when blocking down, but he is a good enough athlete to recover when getting initially beat.
Offers: Columbia
Wagner is a long tackle who reminds me of former Apple Valley great and Arizona offensive lineman Raymond Pulido. I know that’s a lazy comparison and Wagner isn’t the prospect Pulido was, but they have similarities.
He gets a great first step in the running game and is a good athlete. Wagner pulls very well and knocks guys on the ground when blocking down.
On outside runs, he’s an effective reach blocker who gets his entire body to the outside of the defender.
Offers: Arizona
Terry is great at driving his feet through contact and pancaking defenders.
His footwork is very good in run blocking and pass blocking. He could work on replacing his hands faster because sometimes he gets caught with his hands on the outside which could be flagged.
Terry does a good job getting extension on the defender while run blocking but sometimes lets the defender get to his body in pass protection. He has the length and strength to keep defenders away and I’d like to see a better initial punch from him.
The tools are there for Terry and he has serious upside.
