ESN PLAYER EVALUATION/NOTES
Derek is a 2020 offensive line prospect that is starting to rise up the ranks in Texas. He is tall at 6’5 and has an excellent combination of strength, mobility, aggressive temperment, and technique. As a run blocker, he can sink his hips and explode into defenders at the point of attack. He moves easily to the 2nd and 3rd levels. He tends to be a little too high when he is blocking moving targets pulling and in space. As a pass blocker, he can mirror and stays square with edge rushers and anchor down. He has a few minor things that he needs to polish up with his technique that are correctable. He has all the physical tools. With a great offseason and senior year, we would not be surprised to see the big Power 5 schools extending offers.
