Otis put some really good stuff on tape as a freshman; the 6’5, 225lb edge prospect is one of the bigger defensive linemen in Section III. At his size, he will be able to physically dominate a lot of the offensive linemen he will face – it will be key games against CBA-Syracuse and Cicero-North Syracuse against offensive tackles both committed to Syracuse, where Otis will be tested this year. It will be intriguing to see if he has taken a step forward from his freshman year. He has the measurables, but the rest of his game will need to continue to develop as he continues his HS career.

Otis is a really big prospect at 6’5 225; he has some of the best measurables so far in this class and has the body type to fill out closer to or more than 250 as an upperclassman easily. Otis is a raw defensive end prospect, but there are flashes on tape of solid techniques that show good promise.
Otis wins a lot of reps because he is just overwhelming physically, but he shows good use of his length when he sheds blocks. There are not a lot of pure pass rush reps but his ability to rush the passer is a place where he can grow a ton in terms of his pass rush plan and execution of that plan. On tape, he looks more reactive than proactive, which isn’t necessarily bad, but with his size and athleticism, a more proactive style of play can lead to more consistency and overall dominance.
