Expert Analysis
Jared Luginbill | Prep Redzone Scout
Padilla played offensive tackle for the Wayne Warriors, but he’ll slide down to play offensive guard at Ohio State. Padilla is one of those offensive linemen that have a wrestling background. I like when athletes play multiple sports as it gives them an opportunity to work on different movements and techniques that can carry over from sport to sport. Obviously, wrestlers understand leverage very well and that along with the functional strength necessary really translates to the offensive line position in football. Padilla is 6’4 280 and carries his weight very well, so it will be just a matter of continuing to add good weight and strength when he gets to Columbus. I think right now Padilla is stronger in his pass pro. In the run game Padilla moves his feet well and has a good slide step that well come in very handy in any zone run schemes. He has good upper body strength that he uses to finish. I think one of Ohio State’s focuses with him will be developing his lower body strength to generate more drive in the run game. Give him a couple of years in OSU’s program and I think we’re going to see Josh make a leap to another level.
