Evaluation:

Primarily played center, but has some experience at guard too. Could continue to see action at both positions at the next level; however, projects to have a pretty high ceiling as a center. Clearly dominant in the run game, tossing defensive tackles left and right, and works his way to the second level quickly. Has a powerful lower half, which helps drive defenders backward without having much of a chance to gain leverage. Moves extremely well laterally, making him a perfect fit for this Rich Rodriguez offense. Could see time at guard early in his career if it helps him get on the field faster, but would anticipate a full-time move to center.
