Summary
Caleb Lomu is the lesser discussed Utes’ offensive tackle, but he could be an underdeveloped gem with a lot of upside. Lomu played LT for Utah, across from Spencer Fano, and he displayed good run and pass blocking ability, with quick feet and sufficient fluidity to operate in space.
He’s not dominant with his strength but it is sufficient and his frame allows for some growth. Lomu is just a red-shirt sophomore and, with more experience, it’s plausible that he could grow into something special, especially with the foundation he already possesses.
He’s more than just a developmental tackle already, but he’s a bet teams should roll the dice on in day two.
GRADE: 6.31
