Prop 48 prospect academically ineligible to play as a true freshman in 1998 who opted for the draft. All-Conference selection last year seeing time at both guard and tackle.

Massive, wide-bodied lineman with great power and pop at the point of attack. Dominant blocker who drives defenders off the line of scrimmage. Built low to the ground, quick off the snap and so big he completely engulfs opponents. Easily knocks rushers out of their angle of attack with tremendous arm punch and is so wide defenders have difficulty getting around him with any amount of quickness. Plays upright and straight-legged, lumbers and is only good in a small area. Does not work his blocks all that hard, does more leaning that actual blocking and relies on his natural size to keep opponents away rather than implementing proper blocking technique. Sorely needs to condition himself and become a real football player rather than just a big man that mauls the opponent if he has any shot to make it at the next level. Mid Sixth Round.
