Iowa | Hometown: Cedar Rapids, IA | HT: 6056 | WT: 309 | 40 time: 5.11 | Hand: 1000 | Arm: 3214 | Wing: 7800
Four-year starter. First team All-Big 10 in 2024, Academic All-Big 10 for all four years. Had 50 career starts (37 right guard, 7 left guard and 6 right tackle). A durable versatile player who understands the game and the run blocking schemes Iowa used. Has a very competitive nature about his play. A strong player in zone schemes who keeps his shoulders square at the line of scrimmage. Has a good understanding and feel for when to stay engaged and when to climb to the next level. An asset in his ability to maintain his solid base in run blocking. Does a good job of keeping his weight back and keeping his hands inside and busy when in pass protection. Pad level is high, not only when he is fatigued but also against a strong bull rush. Needs to stay on his “reach blocks” and finish. Needs to continue to develop flexibility. With shorter arms, he needs to shore up his “tool box”. Shows a lunge and miss against the defenders push/pull. Needs to continue to get better on pass protection as he played in primarily a run oriented scheme. After a great career at Iowa, needs more seasoning in pass protection. With a load of Big 10 playing experience he can be a limited but solid contributor with backup potential.
OSR:21/30. 10-1.74. Draft projection: 5th-6th round
