Scouting Report
EVALUATED 07/02/2020
Charles Power
NATIONAL WRITER
PROJECTION
2-3 Round
DAY 2
COMPARISON
A'Shawn Robinson
DETROIT LIONS
Stoutly built defensive lineman with a well-proportioned build. Doesn't carry much bad weight on his frame despite already being around 300 pounds. Has registered as a good athlete for the position with strong short area quickness and burst in combine settings prior to his junior season. Works as a two-way lineman at Belleville and has played both ways at camps early in his career before settling in as a defensive tackle prospect. Plays with a high-level combination of first-step quickness and strength at the point of attack. Shows the ability to create disruption as an interior pass rusher with the burst off the ball paired with a low pad level. Has active hands and already developed technically with effective push-pull and rip moves at this stage. Also shows the strength in his base to anchor and make plays as a run defender. Can continue progressing as from a production standpoint on the defensive side (plays both ways) and as a pursuit defender. Projects as a multi-year starter at the Power Five level with the upside to develop into an early-round NFL Draft selection.

This has been a weird recruitment.
Ohio state was on him early and then communication stopped.
I always find it odd when big stars from the Midwest leave the region without even heavily flirting with one of Notre dame/Michigan/Ohio state.
This has a Laquon treadwell/Clifton Garrett feel to it

The fact that Saban runs such a clean program makes landing these 5-Stars even sweeter.
