Official Bio

Stars
Strengths:
Excellent size and bulk with long arms...Great strength and power...Is stout at the point of attack...Gets a good push in the run game...Can be pretty dominant once locked on...Tough and nasty...Nice instincts and awareness...Durable...Has a ton of experience against top competition.

Weaknesses:
Not overly athletic...Isn't very light on his feet...Lacks quickness and agility...Struggles with speed off the edge...Stiff and plays too tall...Not comfortable in space...Isn't a  finisher...Some serious character issues.

Notes:
Was basically a four-year starter for the Buckeyes...Uncle, Ed Boone, played football at Penn State...Named 2nd Team All-Big Ten as a junior and 1st Team as a senior...Charged with drunk driving in 2006...Was arrested in February of 2009 after being subdued with a Taser during an alleged drunken tirade where his blood-alcohol level was at least three times the legal amount...Has talked publically about once drinking 30 or 40 beers a day...Not nearly the elite pro prospect that some made him out to be early in his college career...Prototypical right tackle who has the talent to play in the NFL but poor intangibles and off-the-field trouble cloud his future and will hurt him in the draft.
