Abbreviated Scouting Report: “Surprisingly good blocker for his size, physical at the point of attack, and has a nice edge in his game. Finishes, plays through the whistle and will put a defender on their back or block them completely out of bounds. I’m a bit of a long strider as a route runner and would love to see him continue to improve his quick twitch and change direction,” said 247Sports national recruiting analyst Greg Biggins.
