Jaxon has been an impactful two way player and he shows good size and good wingspan. He has good feet and fast hands. He’s an effective interior lineman on either side. He is a physical player who has been a disruptor as a defensive lineman. He shows a good burst of quickness and uses his physicality well. He likely projects as a safer offensive lineman as he has a strong base and plays with good pad levels and his strength comes through on that side and he can play any of the offensive line positions if needed. He has the quick feet and lateral quickness to be at either tackle spot and can slide in and be an effective puller and getting to the second level in the run game.
