Joe Alt, OL, Notre Dame

Height/Weight: 6-9, 321

Age: 21.1

Strengths

  • Length: Elongated frame even for a tackle at 6-9 and with 34 inch arms
  • Footwork: Feet of a skill player. Light on his toes with efficient steps in both pass protection and run blocking
  • Instincts: Smart player that can identify stunts and adequately adjust to loopers and penetrators

Areas of Improvement-Concerns

  • Waist-Bender: Naturally high base over leverages him occasionally and causes him to get his head too far in front of his body
  • Recovery Work: Want to see him do a better job of handling secondary and tertiary counter moves

Evaluation:

An elite athlete with exponential height, Alt will have a tough time escaping the top 5-10 picks in April’s draft for multiple reasons. A ready made starter that just turned 21, Alt has All-Pro potential between his current skillset and sky high ceiling.
