02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Gap/duo power run blocking scheme that emphasizes downhill and vertical movement to create lanes for power runners.

Left GuardRight Guard
Best role

Year 1 starter in a power run scheme where his size and strength can be immediately leveraged, with the ceiling to be a long-term mauler.

Wrong fit

Zone-heavy schemes that require quick, fluid movement and consistent reach blocks on second-level defenders.

His powerful build and run-blocking prowess make him a strong fit for teams prioritizing a physical, inside presence in their offensive line.
