Scouting Report
He began his college football career as an offensive guard, and then switched to center (and was a team captain) as a senior, so he offers flexibility along the offensive line. He moves well in general, and especially laterally, has a high football IQ, plus quick hands and feet. He lacks elite strength and can struggle with bull-rush techniques at times, so he could stand to add strength in order to thrive in the NFL.
Long Range Potential: Versatile interior offensive lineman.
