Pros:

Lamattina: Hayes generates good power when he initiates contact well and squares up to his opponent. He has the length to disrupt pass-rushing lanes on occasion when defenders blow past him. Solid run blocker in a phone booth when he can one step forward and set the edge for his gap.

Cons:

Lamattina: Extremely unathletic as a whole. His hips are very stiff as he tries to move off of his position. Movements look off balance because his frame leans top-heavy which also leads him to lunge at blocks without the proper balanced base. Will be a liability in pass sets because of his lack of reactive athleticism to adjust to twists and stunts along the defensive line. Struggles against explosive and dynamic athletes who can manipulate their path to the pocket to get past Hayes. The imbalance of his frame also causes him to struggle with his anchor ability when defenders are driving into his body. Soft hands that gives pass rushers the opportunity to swipe and break off of blocks fairly quickly.

Summary:

Lamattina: Marquis Hayes is an experienced starter at guard for the Sooners that may struggle to stick on a final roster because of his limited athletic ability that hinders his overall game. With his physical limitations, he will need to play in a system that allows him to stay in a phone booth without having to move off his original spot.
