At 6’6”, 275 pounds, Mario “looks the part” right out of the gate… He’s been
asked to play out of position at Offensive Guard (OG) at times in the past, and he’s
competed quite well despite being outside his normal comfort zone… This year
he’s moving to his natural position Offensive Tackle (OT), so everybody watch
out… Despite playing out of position at times, Mario has already received the
honor of an “All-Area” selection… He makes it work, no matter what you ask him
to do.
At the game’s highest levels, we’ve seen a bit of a transition to some offensive
linemen “playing small” to improve quickness and mobility… Mario doesn’t have
that issue at all, despite being a young, developing player… Mario plays at his
natural, comfortable size and does so with tremendous athleticism, flexibility and
agility… He is truly a sight to see when he’s in the zone.
Playing for Kemper County High School, Mario is currently in the weight room
four days per week, improving both his overall strength and explosiveness… In
addition to weight and strength training, he’s working diligently on agility and
speed a couple days per week… There’s no question that this young man is
working hard, and he wants it bad.
Mario will be looking to impress at camps throughout this offseason… We believe
he’s a high-upside offensive lineman who would be an asset to any savvy program.
