Dare really shows his identity in the run game, where he plays with a mix of power, control, and real swagger as an anchor up front. He comes off the ball with intent, looking to establish dominance early in the rep and set the tone for how the play unfolds. What stands out is how he finishes—once he gets his hands locked in, he drives his feet and works defenders out of the gap, creating clear lanes for the backfield.

There’s also a confidence in how he plays. He’s not just executing blocks, he’s playing with edge and attitude, letting defenders know they’re going to feel him every snap. As an anchor, he understands how to stay square, absorb contact, and still generate movement in tight spaces, especially on inside zone and power concepts. That combination of physical run blocking and controlled swagger makes him the type of offensive lineman who can set the tone for an entire offense.
