OT Scouting Reports - 2024

Bird’s Eye View: Positional Analysis

Positional Grade: A-

The OT class is deep and talented. There are several potential starting tackles, including a bevy of top shelf blindside protectors. There are at least ten OTs who have first round grades led by Joe Alt (Notre Dame), Olu Fashanu (Penn State), Jordan Morgan (Arizona), Taliese Fuaga (Oregon State), and Amarius Mims (Georgia). There is very good depth with several mid to late round prospects who could be developed into starters including Frank Crum (Wyoming), Roger Rosengarten (Washington), Walter Rouse (Oklahima), and Garret Greenfield (South Dakota State).

Joe Alt / Notre Dame

6085 / 321 / 10” Hands / 34.2” Arms / 82.6” Wingspan

5.05 40 / 28” vertical / 9’4” broad jump / 27 reps (225 lbs)

Father is former NFL Pro Bowl OT John Alt. Very good size with long arms and a strong upper body. Mirror and slides well. Seals the outside run with size, positioning, and strength. Athletic to switch off blocks, engage, and open run lanes via his adjustments. Good arm extension – locks out and the defender is typically neutralized. Plays with great leverage. Very difficult to bull rush. Athletic enough to get to the second level. Pulls and can be very effective in that role. Smart and aware - handles games, stunts, and late blitzes well.

Olu Fashanu / Penn State

6060 / 312 / 8.4” Hands / 34” Arms / 82.4” Wingspan

5.11 40 / 32” vertical / 9’1” broad jump

​Ideal size, height, and length for a starting OLT. Moves and kick slides easily to neutralize speed. Very strong – difficult to bull rush. Plays with great natural knee bend. Smooth and athletic. Uses length well to extend and control the defender. Powerful punch but needs to be more consistent in placement. When he latches on, he controls and neutralizes the defensive player consistently. Technique lapses at times, most noticeable when tired, can be exploited by talented pass rushers.

JC Latham / Alabama

6052 / 342 / 11” Hands / 35.1” Arms / 84.3” Wingspan

Thick build and long arms – physically looks like the ideal OT. Quick into his run blocks – gets movement consistently in the run game. Shoots hands, latches on, and controls the defender. Very good hand use. Quick and effective out to the second level. Nice kick slide and adjusts to movement well although he does have trouble with speed off the edge. Has difficulty handling games, stunts, and late blitzes in the passing game. Has not played up to his potential but has tantalizing upside to be developed in the NFL OT.

6074 / 331 / 9.3” Hands / 36.2” Arms / 86.2” Wingspan

5.14 40 / 29” vertical / 30 reps (225 lbs)

Fantastic size, frame, girth, and wingspan – has grapevines for arms. Excellent bend for his size and plays with good leverage and base although he gets too narrow based at times. Effective pulling and gets good fits at the second level. Mirror and slides and adjusts to speed and movement well. Very good grip strength. Extends and controls with power and leverage. Has a nasty edge. Brother plays IOL for the Commanders.

Tyler Guyton / Oklahoma

6076 / 322 / 10.2” Hands / 34.2” Arms / 82.2” Wingspan

5.19 40 / 34.5” vertical / 8’11” broad jump

Transfer from TCU where he had reps at TE. Extremely tall and long with a very large wingspan. Fantastic athlete. Moves exceptionally well – natural kick slide and handles speed on the edge well. Looks like he can play either OLT or ORT in the NFL. Large hands that he uses to control the defender. Naturally strong – when he gets his hands on you and drives his legs, it’s impressive. High cut with a high center of gravity – leads to some balance issues. Waist bender – susceptible to bull rushes. Inexperienced with only 15 career starts. Tremendous upside.

Good size and length. Natural knee bender. Very good balance. Athletic and has a smooth kick slide. Quick enough to lead on screens and sweeps on the second level.

Excellent size, height, and length with prototypical measureables for OLT. Natural knee bender who plays with outstanding leverage. Balanced and plays with a wide base.

Looks the part with an ideal combination of size, length, and athleticism. Bends well and plays with very good leverage. Naturally strong. Throws a strong punch that can rock the defender although consistency of placement needs development. Moves well and mirrors speed well. Tremendous length – when he latches on, it’s over. Relatively inexperienced and missed time last season. Natural gifts are evident. Has a chance to be special.

Taliese Fuaga / Oregon State

6056 / 324 / 10.1” Hands / 33.1” Arms / 80.5” Wingspan

5.13 40 / 32” vertical / 9’3” broad jump

Very good size and build. Strong and powerful – can drive defenders into the ground. Athletic and can lead sweeps out wide – great mobility. Stays balanced and square to the defender and slides very well. Handles speed well but can be beaten by stunts and games. Excellent run blocker due to athleticism, strength, and tenacity – one of the best run blockers in the 2024 NFL Draft. Did not allow any sacks in 2023. Improved steadily throughout his career. Playing style is similar to Penei Sewell (Lions).

Sam Ehlinger, Indianapolis

RB, Jr., LSU

600.0 / 223 lbs / 4.48 40

(**UPDATED 3/22**)

Big RB with a powerful frame and excellent size. Gains his yards between the tackles, running with great pad level and churning his legs on contact – displays great contact balance. Surprisingly light feet and loose hips allows him to make cuts most RBs his size cannot make. Never a full-time starter being used mostly in a committee system. Limited wear and tear. Not used much in pass protection but plays with good form and anchors effectively. Inexperienced as a receiving option. Lacks long speed. Had his most productive season as a senior in 2021 going for over 1,000 yards. Combine invitee

Blake Fisher / Notre Dame

6056 / 310 / 10” Hands / 34.6” Arms / 83” Wingspan

Still very young but has multiple years of starting experience in South Bend.

Walter Rouse / Oklahoma

6056 / 313 / 10.1” Hands / 35.1” Arms / 83.6” Wingspan

Transfer from Stanford where he started for multiple seasons. Ideal size and length for a blindside OT. Naturally athletic and moves with fluidity. Easy kick slide and mirrors extremely well. Displays quick twitch at the snap and often wins because of it. Long arms used well in punching, resetting, and striking again. Could improve shock in his hands. Doesn’t get much movement in the run game and needs to improve his power and strength.

4.92 40 / 30” vertical / 9’5” broad jump

Excellent size and length. Large wingspan. Sets a strong edge. Anchors well and is difficult to bull rush. A bit of a waist bender but is strong and powerful. Sometimes loses balance when he reaches for a moving pass rusher. When he extends and locks out, he neutralizes the defender. Mirror and slides adequately but struggles sometimes with speed on the edge. Very good athlete. ORT who was the blind side blocker for a left-handed QB at UW (Michael Penix).

Javon Foster / Missouri

6054 / 313 / 9.5” Hands / 34.5” Arms / 83.3” Wingspan

5.30 40 / 32.5” vertical / 8’10” broad jump

Possesses prototypical frame and length with a huge wingspan. Strong and anchors against the bull rush exceedingly well. Plays with leverage and a wide base.

Excellent size with mass, length, and a huge wingspan. Strong and when he latches on, he works to finish. Waist bender. Lumbers when he slides and he may be better served playing IOL. Needs to improve hand use and shooting his hands with force and purpose. Very strong with a nasty disposition.

Caedan Wallace / Penn State

Good size with a wide base. Mirror and slides effectively. Not overpowering but efficient, smart, and technically sound. Sound positioning. Plays with good bend and has an easy kick slide.

Strong and physical. Shoots hands with purpose, latches on, and fights to control the defender. Powerful. Speed on the edge can give him fits.

6060 / 312 / 10.2” Hands / 35.1” Arms / 85.5” Wingspan

Excellent size with tremendous length. Strong and powerful, especially in the run game. Has trouble with speed off the edge. Punches lack power and his mitts are too easily discarded. Has balance issues and too easily falls off blocks in pass pro. Quality run blocker due to power. Likely will need to slide to OG in the NFL.

Donovan Jennings / USF

6040 / 328

Ideal length, frame, and wingspan for OT. OLT for the Bulls. Plays with good bend and balance. Handles speed on the edge well when he shoots his hands with shock and locks and controls, he typically wins. Decent kick slide but his footwork needs continued development. Lacks some desired strength and has difficulty with bull rushes. May slide into OG in the NFL.
