Vernon is the type of left tackle every offense wants to build around — long, athletic, and technically advanced with the ability to consistently protect the quarterback’s blindside. He has a natural frame that projects extremely well, paired with light feet and smooth movement that allows him to handle speed off the edge without panicking. There’s a calm confidence to his game that stands out immediately.

In pass protection, Vernon is at his best. He shows excellent set angles, stays patient with rushers, and mirrors movement with controlled footwork. His ability to stay square and recover when challenged makes him extremely reliable in one-on-one situations. He doesn’t just react — he anticipates, which is a major trait for high-level left tackles. His punch timing and hand placement are strong and continue to improve with experience.

In the run game, Vernon brings more than just finesse. He can climb to the second level with ease, sealing linebackers and creating lanes in space. He’s also capable of setting a firm edge when asked to down block or handle power looks. As he continues to add strength, his ability to consistently finish blocks will elevate him even more as a complete tackle. Pittman holds offers from Baylor , Louisiana tech , Houston.
