I've watched his film a couple of times now, and I'm not sure I see a future DT. He's listed at 240, so I'm sure he's actually slightly lighter than that. He definitely projects as a strongside DE early on though. He shows plenty of pass rush ability and athleticism to hold the edge against outside runs. Ideally, he's someone that plays strongside DE and slides inside on obvious passing situations.

just watched his tape too.

what immediately jumped out to me was the EFFORT the kid plays with. He is constantly running to the ball and looks to be pretty well coached for a high school Jr. I see no problem with him playing on the strong side or sliding inside when adding some good weight as he shows the ability to hold a double team pretty well when on an inside technique. I actually got Rylie Mills vibes watching him play. Not sure if he can add that much weight, but if we get another Rylie Mills out of him sign me up!

Really psyched to add him after watching the film. A college weight room and nutrition program coupled with Partridge fine tuning him definitely projects to having something here to be excited about.
