Notes:
Was a three-year starter at left tackle for the Cardinal --- Redshirted in 2008 --- Named 1st Team All-Pac-10/12 in 2010 and 2011 --- Protected Andrew Luck's blind side and was a standout for one of the countries premier offensive lines --- Could project to either left or right tackle at the next level and best fit may come in a zone scheme --- Profiles as a potential starter but will require development, especially in the weight room --- Overrated prospect who possesses some intriguing physical tools and an impressive résumé but plays with a finesse demeanor and is neither an elite level pass protector or a dominant run blocker.
