Scouting report

Via 247Sports’ Allen Trieu:

Massive framed defensive lineman. Can play 3-4 defensive end or may play tackle in an even front. Strong, has added weight as a senior and is tough to move. Coordinated and plays with good balance. Holds his ground in the run game. Has to continue to work on explosion and pure speed. Offensive line should not be ruled out as a long-term possibility either.
