Gomez flashed intriguing athletic traits that could translate well to the next level. His first step off the snap allows him to fire out low and engage defenders with urgency, which was evident in multiple reps where he gained leverage early. This pairs well with his ability to get hands on defenders quickly, using active, violent hand placement to control and steer opponents. In run drills, he performed at a higher level, showing good pad level. During competition periods, Gomez won a few reps outright, including a couple of blocks where his base strength and balance shone through against similarly sized peers.

Overall, his physicality and motor suggest he’s a prospect who thrives in physical, downhill blocking scenarios. While Gomez’s run-game prowess stood out, his pass protection needs polishing to handle more athletic edge rushers or interior twists. The most notable area for improvement is his kick step, which lacked the depth and quickness needed for consistent mirroring in pass sets. This led to occasional overextension, where he struggled to recover against speed-to-power moves, allowing defenders to gain inside leverage. At his current size, he can hold up against bull rushes due to his anchor, but without refining his footwork, he risks being exposed in drop-back situations. In competitive reps, this limitation showed up in losses where quicker opponents slipped past his initial punch.
