Ben Ijaiana - Villanova Scouting Report - Draft Insiders Pro Prospect Preview
Agile senior left tackle has performed very well protecting the passers' blindside earning CAA honors over recent seasons. He has continued to develop with experience, displaying fine balance and agility to match up with speed rushers. He has man-handled defenders from the lower level with both his agility and power to play a physical game and win most confrontations. He has performed well in pass protection, showing good hand use and fine footwork to slide laterally and adjust nicely. He needs work as a drive blocker to move a defender off the line better, especially from a technique and strength standpoint. He needs to shine in the postseason vs top D1 competition to elevate his draft status. He has been performed well this fall, showing the footwork and agility to matchup in pass protection and the power to get a strong push at the point of attack. He is our top small college linemen this year.
