Instincts: He has a high football IQ and is the general of the offensive line at the high school level. Run-heavy team with a focus up front, something he embodies in gritty, yet technical blocking style.

Polish: He is consistent with his footwork and hand placement, but lacks overall strength and finishing ability. Has room to add to frame with mass and definition and needs to improve his ability to bend.

Bottom Line: Ivan Shultz is a technician as a center with room to add to his frame and improve his upper and lower body strength. Needs to improve his lateral quickness and ability to bend to be able to leverage defenders more effectively at the college level. He has the ability to be a starter over the course of his career at a mid-major level with all-conference upside.
