Physical Profile

Listed at 6-5, 320 lbs. Taller than 74% and heavier than 81% of 2026 Interior Offensive Line prospects in the SEC Scouts database (207 with a listed size).

Play Style

He is a physical, finish-through-the-whistle interior blocker. He looks most comfortable working a double-team at the point of attack and then climbing to the second level, or driving a defensive tackle off the ball in man and gap schemes. He plays with a mean streak and tries to put defenders on the ground. In pass protection he is sturdy against power because of his mass and length. His film is less convincing when a quick three-technique makes him move laterally in space. He is at his best in a phone booth, not on an island.

Strengths

• College-ready size and strength: at 6-5 to 6-7 and 320-325 lbs, he was physically ready to take snaps in the Big Ten as a true freshman.
• Nasty finisher: 247Sports says he 'will unlock a mean streak and take assignments into the turf,' and USC coverage describes an 'old-school toughness.'
• Excels in tight quarters and on combo/double-team blocks. He can move the down lineman off the ball, which fits inside zone and gap runs.
• Versatile and experienced: at IMG he played mostly right guard, with snaps at left guard and right tackle. In 2024 he played nine games and started mostly at left guard. That gives a college staff flexibility at both guard spots and emergency depth at tackle.
• Battle-tested at IMG Academy, where he faced loaded national-level defensive fronts every day. His roommate and line-mate there was five-star OT Keenyi Pepe, who also signed with USC.

Areas to Improve

• Pass protection when isolated: scouts flag possible trouble against faster, quicker interior rushers in one-on-one situations. He needs to improve his lateral set speed, keep his base under him and use his hands more precisely against slants and twists.
• Pad level and leverage: at 6-6 or taller he has to win with bend and not just size, especially against shorter, lower-built nose tackles.
• Staying healthy and available: he missed some time in 2026 fall camp and opened the season second on the depth chart at left guard behind Hayden Treter, though he had been one of camp's standout freshmen.

College Projection

He is a guard at USC. He enrolled early enough to take part in spring 2026, earned Riley's 'furthest along' comment, and was named repeatedly as a standout freshman in fall camp. He opened 2026 as the backup left guard behind Hayden Treter, with Alani Noa set at the other guard spot. Expect rotational snaps and injury depth as a true freshman, plus a real chance to win a starting job by late 2026 or in 2027. Evaluators project him as a potential multi-year starter.

NFL Outlook

He has a realistic Day 2 or Day 3 guard profile if he develops as expected. NFL teams will like his size, length, power and interior versatility. His draft stock will depend on whether he fixes the lateral-quickness concern in one-on-one pass protection against Big Ten defensive tackles. If he becomes a two- or three-year starter who shows he can handle quick rushers, he could climb into the top three rounds. If not, he still projects as a draftable, power-scheme guard with some position versatility.

Best Fit

A power- or gap-heavy run game, or an inside-zone scheme built on double-teams, where he can use his size and finish on combo blocks and down blocks. An offense that uses quick game and play-action to limit his one-on-one pass-protection reps plays to his strengths. USC under Lincoln Riley and OL coach Zach Hanson, a Big Ten program leaning into physical line play, is a good fit.
