Four-year starter and second team All-Conference selection last year as a senior. Totaled 36 repetitions on the bench during combine workouts.

Tough, hard-working lineman best in confined quarters. Quick off the snap into his blocks or setting in pass protection, immediately gets his hands up and sets with a wide base. Strong at the point of attack anchoring in pass protection or turning opponents out run blocking. Plays with forward lean, stays square and a disciplined lineman that plays assignment football. Blocks straight legged, does not move well in space and has difficulty with quick, nimble opponents. Bends at the waist, cannot kick out or pull and effective only straight ahead. If he learns to bend his knees and play with leverage, and is also put in a scheme where he is not asked to move much, he'll be effective at the next level. Mid Sixth Round.
