Scouting Notes

Enormous fourth-school left tackle at 6-8, 354 whose arrow has pointed the wrong way — a third-team All-American at Virginia Tech in 2023 with first-round buzz, but 2025 at Auburn was a step back: career-low run and overall grades, 18 pressures and 12 penalties surrendered over 823 snaps. The frame and length are a premium-position starting kit, and he's a proven Power-4 tackle who's played a lot of football. However, the penalty and pressure numbers are the honest problem — a dozen flags is a discipline-and-technique flag that shows up on tape, and the buzz has cooled accordingly. An experienced starter at a valued spot who needs a clean bounce-back season at Florida State to re-enter the draft conversation he was once near the top of. Fringe grade until the play catches back up to the physical profile.
