Firstly I echo what everyone says about camps. Every year "unknown" kids get big time offers because they show up in camp and really show their athleticism.
As for the film itself, lots of positive with some things to work on.
Positives
-nasty streak/finishes blocks well.
-great frame
-gets to the linebackers well on down and reach blocks.
-very strong guy. Powerful run blocker.
-decent feet. Nice kick step on pass rush.
-high motor. Chases down defensive players which is valuable. Doesn't give up on plays till the whistle.
Areas for improvement
-hand placement. They get around the head and neck which will be penalties in college.
-low trajectory. He tends to get a little high sometimes. He is powerful enough that it doesn't matter at this level but at the next it will. Work on staying low.
-foot speed. His steps are actually not bad but he needs to work on having quicker feet.
All in all he's a bit raw but clearly talented. With some good coaching and time to develop he could be a very solid college level player.
