Overview

Definitely one of the better small school OT prospects in the nation. Prepped in Mayo, Maryland and has been a mainstay on the Colonels line for a long time. Played on the Magnolia Game and aqcuitted himself well.

Strengths

Solid LOT at Nichols who has lots of tools to work with. Experienced. Better than all but a handful of IA LOT candidates in many ways. Tough, aggressive, goes for the throat. Not on the ground much. Shows decent balance, recoil and punch.

Weaknesses

Needs to get stronger. Needs first-step work. Needs to be coached up. Can be beaten by a hard inside move.

Projection

Deserves to be drafted in the 5-6th round area, but probably won't be.
