Scouting Report
Evaluated 09/15/2022

Projection
2-3 Round Day 2Has prototypical size and athletic ability for the position. Bends well, gets off the ball quickly and can beat blockers with initial quickness. Closes to the ball with speed as well. For a taller interior defensive lineman, he generally does a good job with pad level and his flexibility helps with that. Not often challenged in high school with offensive linemen with similar size and talent. Will have to show he can disengage from Power Five level offensive linemen. Has great upside though and actually could play high-level offensive line if he wanted to also, but projects as a defensive tackle that can play for any school and in any scheme in the country.
H.S. Athletic Background

Helped St. Ignatius make the Illinois 3A hoops tournament as both a junior and a sophomore.
Averaged 3.9 ppg and 6.2 rpg on the hardwood as a 11th grader
