Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Recruiting stock has been on the rise all offseason with high level offers coming in from Alabama, Georgia, Notre Dame, and USC bringing his total count to nine. Light on his feet for his massive frame at 6’5” 320 lbs. Demonstrates his athleticism with his movement skills, bend, and lateral quickness. Plays tough and physical with excellent POA strength to shed blockers and disengage. Understands how to use his size and strength to anchor down and neutralize a blocker to hold his gap. He’s a mismatch for any HS level offensive lineman and a guy that opposing offenses have to plan for or he will disrupt both the running game and pass protection. Expect him to keep rising up the rankings and pulling in more elite offers going forward.

9 Offers: SMU, Alabama, UCLA, USC, SDSU, Georgia, Notre Dame, Florida, Auburn
