Achieves those second-level levels. targets with relative ease. Combines functional mobility and strength as a consistently effective range blocker. Impact on arrival improved as a junior and also manifested as lightning at the point of attack. Has a high ceiling as a pass blocker thanks to the above-average frame and footing Speed. Generally, the naturally high center of gravity does not negatively affect the level of the pad and leverage. Consistency as a puncher can still improve.
