BIO: Three-year starter who has spent time at both left and right tackle.

POSITIVES: Massive blocker best in a small area. Sets with a wide base, blocks with forward lean and stays square. Displays strength at the initial point of attack, works his blocks and controls opponents once engaged. Uses effective body positioning and works well with linemates.

NEGATIVES: Looks heavy, overweight and bends at the waist. Lacks body adjustment, has difficulty sustaining his blocks for anything other than a short period of time and does not play with great balance.

ANALYSIS: Needs to lose weight which will improve his mobility and range if he's to have a chance at the next level.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
