OverviewDurable, reliable center who set an NCAA record with 54 career starts. Initially starting at guard, he moved to center in 2007 and has been a three-time Rimington Award nominee (finalist in 2009). 3-time All-WAC 1st Team honoree and East-West Shrine Bowl Invitee. Invited to participate in 2010 NFL combine.
StrengthsSmart, durable and reliable. Off-season work-ethic is obvious with 54 straight games played without an injury. Among most experienced centers in the draft. Uses hands well and takes proper first-level angles. Great mass with good pass blocking with good lateral agility and shot-gun snapping skill.
WeaknessesLacks overall size some teams prefer at center. Almost exclusive career has been shotgun/spread snaps and will have some transition to traditional 'under-center' snaps. Struggles with run-blocking versus massive nose tackles.
Projection6th round.
