Gruwell is a versatile offensive lineman who is capable of playing any position on the front 5. His frame lends itself best to playing center, however, and that’s where Gruwell saw most of his success last season. His greatest assets as a blocker are both his leverage and quickness. Gruwell isn’t the biggest guy in the trenches, but he’s often the lowest, which allows him to displace bigger defenders, particularly on reach blocks. He does a great job of staying hip-to-hip with his guard on double teams, and his fast feet allow him to climb to the second level rapidly. In short-yardage situations, he gets an explosive jump off the ball that really helps with QB sneaks. Expect Gruwell to be a big part of that Dawson-Boyd OL success next season.
