The Positives
- Overpowered most of the defenders lined up in front of him
- Can pull with some speed
- Moves well
- Strong punch, strong hands
- Easy climber to second level
- Has really long arms
The Negatives
- Lateral movement could be improved
- When moving laterally he’ll drag his backfoot

- Has good, quick feet, but can get too stagnant at times
- Inconsistent hand placement
Side Note
- How will his skills translate when he has to jump up competition
Kiran Amegadjie is a really impressive offensive tackle prospect in this year’s class. He overpowered essentially every defender that lined up in front of him. He can pull with some decent looking speed and moves well. He has strong hands and a strong punch with what looks to be possibly the longest arms we’ve seen in any scout over the last few years. Despite good, quick feet Amegadjie allows his feet to get too stagnant at times. His punch, despite being strong results in inconsistent hand placement. His lateral movement also could use a bit of polishing. The biggest question we have is how will his skills translate with a massive jump in competition?
