Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU

Height/Weight: 6-5, 326

Age: 21.3

Strengths

  • Play Strength: Thick frame that generates force from his legs into his hips and upper body
  • Range: Meets the parameters for length and is a tall task to work around for edge rushers
  • Functional in the Run Game: Decent enough athleticism to be used in a zone scheme or put on a convoy

Areas of Improvement-Concerns

  • Tad Sluggish: Everything feels like it’s in slow motion. Takes a while for the mass to get going
  • Late Hands: Let’s defenders beat him after losing at the junction point
  • Reaction: Doesn’t possess the footspeed to mirror secondary moves and counters

Evaluation:

Kingsley Suamataia is a dense offensive lineman that is sort of a plotter, but useful in his run-blocking ability and tough to get around. If he can find a way to work around some of his athletic deficiencies or become quicker, he will play in the league for a long time.
