About Robert
Expert Analysis
Brendan Mankarious | Prep Redzone Scout
I typically do not bother watching film where prospects do not identify themselves; however, given that Robert Rossano appears to have started varsity as a freshman on the 3-time Group V State Champion, I simply had to watch. Rossano alternated at either guard spot and might have been designated the pulling guard… and pull with authority is something he did often and well. Moving very quickly, Rossano gets to his assignment in a hurry and keeps his feet churning through contact. Something more advanced, Rossano can turn on a dime and adjust his path when his assignment looks to olé him, as well as peel back inside. As he pulls, and climbs to the second level alike, we see Rossano get through the hole quickly and with acceleration as a lead blocker would. Moreover, Rossano finds cloth at the second level exceptionally well. Touching back on the prior note about him peeling back, his feet are also quick enough to effectively peel back in pass protection. It appears that the freshman state champion also does a good job of controlling his opponent’s chest plate, grabbing cloth well when drive blocking. Unfortunately I get the sense that Rossano’s college upside will depend on how big he grows. That said, I would encourage him to learn how to snap if he has plans to play collegiately.
