Scouting Report

Updated null
Kouandjio is a dominant run blocker with excellent athleticism that is very rare at his size coming out of high school. This guy runs very well for a big man. His over all size is what we like to see for the tackle position at the major level of competition. Displays very good flexibility in a three point stance; comes off the ball with good initial quickness and explosion; gets a good fit with a flat back and good pad level; rolls his hips with good base and leg drive; has the playing strength to knock defenders off the line of scrimmage; his athletic ability and balance allow him to maintain contact when he moving defenders into space. Demonstrates the skill to gain leverage on shaded down linemen and shows the foot speed and balance to block 2nd level defenders. At this stage of his career this player shows the ability to make all the necessary run blocks at the next level. We like his tough, dominant finishing attitude. In pass protection his athleticism and arm length are a big plus. His initial quick set move is good; can bend, slide his feet and play flat footed to the deep set point; shows quick hands and extension; reacts to edge rushers, keeping them off the QB; does a good job taking on the bull rush. This prospect shows a bit of a mean streak and will punish defenders when the opportunity presents itself. If Kouandjio continues to develop and improve throughout his senior year, we feel he will have the size, athleticism, explosion and playing strength to step in and become an immediate starter at the major level of competition. Great college prospect. ... for full access to RecruitingNation become an ESPN+ Subscriber
