OVERALL

Josh Conerly Jr. is a two-year starter at left tackle inside Oregon's 52-48 run-pass split, multiple run scheme. Conerly was a high school running back until moving to the offensive line as a sophomore before becoming the top-ranked offensive tackle recruit in the nation. Conerly has a lean, well-rounded build with good arm length, athletic ability and adequate play strength.

Conerly wins as a run blocker by quickly getting out of his stance and into fits on time with proper leverage on angle-drive blocks to wall off and secure rush lanes. He is light on his feet with good burst as a puller, on screens and climbs to intersect targets. While Conerly gets into place and can stay attached to blocks well, he shows below-average power that results in stalemates and being pried open gradually to allow penetration across his face.

In pass protection, Conerly is a loose, fluid mover with efficient footwork to his spot using angled or vertical sets with the redirect skills to mirror counter moves. Conerly uses his length well with solid placement to work inside the frame of rushers and keep them at his fingertips. He runs into trouble against rushers that can weaponize tempo, stutters and hesitations that get him broken down, flat-footed and leaning into contact. This can lead to a tardy anchor against speed to power, drifting and creating soft edges that force him into recovery mode.

Overall, Conerly has good athletic ability, recovery and zone run blocking skills with the range to protect the corner in pass protection against high-side, speed rushes. He shows erratic strike timing and mediocre play strength that saps his anchor, indicating a best fit inside a zone-based run scheme where he can earn a starting tackle job as a rookie and become a solid starter.
