Cassens is a problem for opponents in the middle of both the offensive and defensive lines. As a center, he can physically overpower most opponents in his class. What separates him – however – is that the Rebels’ big man does not rely on his superior size and strength. His hips are low coming off the ball. His pad level is often lower than that of the smaller defensive linemen he is blocking. The combination of strength and leverage allows him to drive opponents three or four yards off the line of scrimmage. As a nose tackle, his quickness and agility stand out for a big athlete. Like on offense, he can often overpower opponents, but his athletic ability on the inside sets him apart.
