Expert Analysis
Matt Tate | Prep Redzone Scout
Gillespie is a rising star at the offensive tackle position for CT. Measures in at 6’2 275 pounds. Off the bat, he has very good strength, body control and good balance. Good initial quickness out of his stance and maintains a low pad level to out leverage the DL. Very good hand strength and placement. He overpowers the DL and moves them around with ease. He matches the footwork of the defensive lineman, and locks them out. He is a phenomenal run blocker, creating lanes for his RB. He has the athletic ability to run out in space and block on the perimeter too. In pass protection he excels. He has a good anchor and good knee bend + flexibility. Kanoa has very good competitive toughness, playing through the whistle. At the UNC camp, Kanoa showed off his skills winning reps against seniors and juniors. Gillespie is a fantastic young man with high character, who is consistently trying to learn and improve his game! He is a beast and a name to watch out for going forward.
