FSU Makes Top 5 for Blue-Chip OL: Scouting Report
A massive blue-chip offensive tackle from Gadsden, Alabama named the Seminoles among his top five destinations on Tuesday, as Rod Orr (6'7", 296 pounds) released his finalists.
The two-sport athlete is a composite four-star prospect, and currently holds 29 scholarship offers, and is a Sports Illustrated All-American candidate.
SI All-American recently provided an in-depth scouting report of the talented recruit:
Frame: Tall with wide and broad shoulders and long arms. Big torso. Above-average lower base with thickness in thighs.
Athleticism: Solid snap quickness and body urgency from a 2-point stance. Good upper-body strength and a strong grab at the point. Occupies with size and strength. Has movement ability to climb to the second level with balance athletic ability to adjust and get a good fit on ‘backers.
Instincts: Uses a 45-degree pass set on edge. Mirrors well when engaged post-grab and shows fair anchor strength in his trunk. Executes a good seal with solid 1-hand inside punch on back-side rollouts. Can be nasty in the run game with good physicality.
Polish: Classic grab-style right tackle who works from a 2-point stance. Performs some zone concepts with emphasis on man/gap-scheme work. Must improve bend in stance and refine bucket step. Also needs to improve hand-placement/punch accuracy while syncing feet at collision points.
Bottom Line: Orr is an imposing lineman who can be a menace for edges in the run game. He likes contact and has a strong grab at the point of attack. The Alabama native is solid in tight space in pass-protection and mirrors fine when engaged. Look for Orr to stick on the right island at the next level.
