Connor Carty

Athletic IOL that has displayed an impressive improvement in his strength from his Sophomore to Junior seasons. Shows very good overall play strength that he leverages well with his very good pad level in both run blocking and pass protection, utilizing very good upper body strength to create extension and lock out and his lower body strength to generate and sustain movement. 

Carty shows very good athletic ability for the position, where he displays fluid movement ability both in short areas and when climbing to the second level. Shows good location and awareness of 2nd level defenders when climbing, where he displays good tempo control and feel for coming to balance before engaging. In pass protection, displays very good hand placement along with a good feel for reworking his hands over the course of the rep. His very good pad level consistently gives him the leverage advantage and helps him anchor.

Given his combination of movement ability, processing, and play strength, Carty fits incredibly well in a Zone run scheme that allows him to play to his strengths.
