Kevin Gilyard is a player you get excited about once you see the size – 6’5 and 300+ pounds just doesn’t grow on trees, especially as a sophomore football player. He’s relatively unknown for the moment, but that will change if Kevin continues on the trajectory his highlight film shows. Kevin can play both guard and tackle – as a guard he shows good strength in coming off the football on straight-ahead drive blocking in the running game. Kevin also showed the ability to short-pull and kick out block on traps, finishing his blocks well in these scenarios. At tackle, Kevin shows impressive patience in his kick slide against speed rushers and shows the strength to keep bull rushers at bay on the outside. He is another player with a bright future who shows a good work ethic in the weight room.
