Has a wide, flexible base and does a nice job firing off the ball with a low pad level and exploding through his hips in the run game. Possesses the power to drive defenders out of the play and does well keeping his legs moving through contact. Displays good athletic ability in the open field with the body control to reach and/or cut down a moving target.

Lacks the footwork and length to stay on slide-down blocks along the line of scrimmage. Gets a bit overextend at times in the pass game and will loses his balance when trying to be overly physical at the point of attack.

Impression: Looks powerful in the run game and displays good short-area quickness vs. the pass. Is as talented as any other lineman on the Texas offensive line.

Adam Ulatoski: No. 74, OT, 6-8, 305

Displays decent flexibility for his size, but isn’t real explosive out of his stance and struggles getting set quickly in the pass game. Possesses good length and upper body strength on the outside and exhibits the punch to angle defenders past the pocket.

However, he has a tendency to overextend into blocks because he lacks the footwork and balance to redirect and mirror linemen in space. Isn’t real fluid at the second level; struggles breaking down in space and hitting a moving target.
