A run-heavy system, such as a traditional West Coast offense or a power run scheme, that values blocking tight ends and utilizes play-action passes.
Year 1: immediate contributor as a primary blocking tight end, gradually expanding route tree; Ceiling: valuable two-way tight end, integral to run game, reliable short-to-intermediate target.
An Air Raid or pass-heavy spread offense where his blocking prowess would be underutilized and his receiving limitations exposed.
Hoomanawanui's size, blocking ability, and short-area quickness make him a valuable asset in schemes that prioritize the run game and necessitate a physical presence at tight end.
