Three-year starter. Inside three technique player. Must get
penetration with first step quickness or gets washed down. Does
have a sudden move to split the blockers. Plays with a good
tempo. Must work to bend and stay low. The Longhorns used
him as a fullback on the goal-line. He is a former high school
running back. Long arms and big hands. Gained 30 pounds of
good weight over the past two years to help him take up space
between the tackles. A team captain that plays the game at a
high and productive tempo. Disruptive with pressures, tackles
for loss, passes batted down, and sacks. Excellent snap reactions
to beat the blocker across the line. Good hand use. Can disengage
blocker and find the ball. Uses his strength and technique versus
drive block and double team. Lateral shuffle to get to the ball
through traffic. Stays on his feet. Has power and activity in his
legs. Over his career had 129 tackles, 40 1/2 tackles for loss,
and 15 sacks. Edge speed:left 1.88, right 2.03. OSR:6/20. Second/
third round. (A-33, H-10, BP-30, 10-1.72).
