Primarily fits a power-gap run blocking scheme, emphasizing downhill running and mauling at the point of attack.
Initially a swing tackle, Ijalana projects as a long-term starter at either guard or tackle with his power and versatility.
Spread-option or zone-heavy schemes that demand consistent athleticism and quickness in space.
His strength and ability to displace defenders make him a valuable asset in schemes that prioritize a physical run game.
