Aidan Kinnaird

Junior Eval: Aidan improved a ton from sophomore to junior year. His mentality is to punish opposing defenders and plays with the nasty aggression coaches love. He is at his best as a run blocker sealing down on the nose guard, pulling, and getting to the 2nd level creating holes for his running backs. He has the ability to sink his hips and get underneath defenders to move them. As a pass blocker, he can anchor down and move laterally to shield off pass rushers. He just needs to get in the best shape possible, improve foot speed, and continue to get stronger during the offseason. If he does that, he will be a lock for a Power 5 school by Signing Day.

Soph. Eval: Aidan is a 2021 prospect to keep an eye on over the next couple of seasons. He has the Power 5 frame and showed flashes of being a big-time player during his sophomore season. He can overwhelm defenders as a run blocker and he works hard to finish. He has decent leg drive moving guys out of the way. He needs to get more flexible, get stronger, and improve hand placement on his punch. His leg drive will improve as he gets better leverage. As a pass blocker, he is a wide body that is tough to go through him and does well protecting his quarterback. He is young and still developing across the board. Group 5 potential.
