Shows adequate quick set ability and foot quickness but we feel he will have problems with quick edge rushers. He must improve his initial quickness, and pad level coming out of his stance. As a run blocker he must play with better leverage and will have problems with good low defensive players. His hand quickness, punch and lockout must be improved. Pass rushers get into his body. He should be given the opportunity to work as a right tackle but most probably guard is where he will play at the next level, having less problems working in space. He has short pull/ trap ability. Loos needs to improve his overall hand use, and extension along with his upper body strength and explosion. We think is a player who will need time to develop but could be a starter later in his career after red shirt year.
