High school: Huntington (W.V.)

Measurables: 6-6 | 320

247Sports Composite: 5-star (0.9944), No. 10 Overall, No. 1 OT

Evaluation: Carries 315 pounds like it is 285. Aggressive, long and moves well laterally. Strong lower body helps him recover quickly. Has the foot speed and mentality to play left tackle. Has nasty streak. He is athletic, bends well at the knees and is quick. Changes direction well and can combat speed and strength pass rushers. Runs well and gets to second level blocks quickly. Is fluid when he pulls. Competes hard. Needs to improve technique. Powerful initial punch but needs to be more consistent with hand placement. Dips head and gets caught off balance at times. Upper tier Power 5 multi-year starter with first-round potential. – 247Sports National Recruiting Analyst Brian Dohn
