247Sports national analyst Allen Trieu recently evaluated Proctor and compared his game to former first round NFL draft pick Ronnie Stanley.
Prototypical height, length and size. Lines up at left tackle and currently projects as a future college blind side protector. Good natural athlete. Shows explosiveness off the ball, twitch and quickness for a big man. Gets out of his stance quickly in pass protection. Has strength and a powerful punch. Can run and get out in front of plays to make blocks in space. Shows few glaring weaknesses, but can still tweak technique and steaily improve on testing numbers. Is a high-end prospect who can play for any school in the country and has the upside and work ethic to play beyond that.
The nation’s No. 5 overall prospect for the 2023 cycle has visited Iowa, Iowa State, Missouri, Notre Dame, Arizona State, and Arizona this year.
