Expert Analysis

Scott Burgess

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Paukstis is a 6’3″ 260 pound offensive lineman that played both left tackle and left guard for Wheaton St. Francis. Projects best kicking inside to guard to give him his highest ceiling. Technically sound player with good mobility and athleticism. Typewriter footwork. Locks in on defender with good use of his hands. Hits well on the move in the run game while playing physical using his raw strength to move defenders. Seals well and does a nice job of using leverage and angles effectively.

Scott Burgess

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Paukstis is a highly ranked junior offensive lineman. Listed at 6’2” 255 pounds he was excellent at left tackle sealing on the edge along with pancaking guys in the run game. Held up well against pass rushers as well with his technique. Whether he ultimately kicks inside to guard or not will be decided later, but he is a for sure P4/G5 guy!
