Overview:

Doyle has experienced a huge physical transformation during his Redhawks career since being recruited as a 225-pounder coming out of Edina High School. With attention largely on the defensive side of the ball and as a high-school hockey player, he has seen a constant improvement on the technical side of the tackle position. Doyle is a flexible athlete for 6-foot-8 and 326 pounds and is able to generate a lot of power within that frame. He has a smooth pass set and is able to keep rushers off his quarterback consistently. His hands complement his feet perfectly in pass protection as he is able to control defenders with his initial punch. Where Doyle struggles is in space in the run game. He can generate power when operating in a phone booth, but has trouble engaging and creating movement when he has to go get the block. His best fit is on a team that is pass-dominant and won’t ask him to work in space too often. He has a lot of potential to continue to grow into his massive frame and refine his game as he moves on to the next level.
