Pahlen has good upper body strength. He uses that advantage to manipulate defensive linemen and get his hips flipped to open a hole. He has solid hip level, which makes his upper-body strength even more effective. Pahlen transitions smoothly to the second level. He possesses good footwork, allowing him to stay with smaller players down the field. The Rebels’ right tackle has the power and the tenacity to finish blocks with defenders on the ground. A two-way player, Pahlen also plays a solid defensive end on the other side of the ball.
