A versatile blocker with experience at both guard and center, he utilizes heavy hands and significant grip strength to control defenders at the point of attack. While he excels as a downhill run blocker, his ability to anchor and sustain blocks in pass protection makes him a gritty developmental prospect for the professional level.
