Notes: Born in Channelview, TX. Graduated from high school in Houston. Redshirted in 2014. Played in 12 games, made 8 starts at right tackle in 2015. Saw action in all 13 games (12 starts), splitting time at both left and right tackle in 2016. Started every game at left tackle in 2017-18. Finished college career playing 39 games with 34 starts.
Positives: Athletic and light on his feet. Solid pass protector and effective zone-style run blocker. Very effective in space, pulling and on reach blocks. Sustains nicely and gets to the second level with ease. Above-average strength.
Negatives: Needs to clean up his footwork and overall technique. Lets his hands get outside the frame of the opponent too often. Appears to rely on natural ability a bit too much at times.
Summary: Mostly played left tackle in college, but figures to slide inside at the next level.
