Mike Iupati is a wide-bodied road grader that is physical and flashes a
punch that shocks defenders. Jon Asamoah is aggressive in his approach.
Stays engaged and maintains a good base and active feet in pass protection.
Zane Beadles plays left tackle but projects inside to guard. Physical
player. Effective in pulls. Stays on his feet. Needs to get more consistency
in his hand use. Mike Johnson was more inconsistent in 2009 than his
junior year. Struggled more in space. Worked to keep a good base in pass
protection. Loses leverage if he does not play with knee bend. Vladimir
Ducasse moved to the United States in 2002 from Haiti. A raw athletic
talent that projects to guard from left tackle. AVERAGE
