Official Bio
|
Strengths:
Adequate size and bulk...Really understands leverage and positioning...Excellent strength...Stout at the point...Smart with decent awareness...Intense and a hard worker with a non-stop motor...A leader with top intangibles...Tons of experience.
Weaknesses:
Isn't a great athlete...Poor balance...Is not a natural knee bender...Needs to do a better job of finishing his blocks...Not very mobile...Doesn't get a great push...Had some issues with the shotgun snap...Is not very powerful....Struggled as a senior.
Notes:
Was a top heavyweight wrestler in high school (138-6 record) and won the state championship as a sophomore, junior and senior...A four-year starter...He saw his stock slip in '07 but the Irish have a strong tradition of producing pro lineman and that can't be discounted...Does not have all the physical tools but he gets the job done..A potential starter if he can regain the form he showed earlier in his career.
