Scouting Report: Strengths
- Has good footwork and technique. Balanced and agile pass protection set with excellent hand placement.
- Quick out of his stance with the footwork to be effective in front of screens. Willing to get out in front of ballcarriers to take out defensive backs and linebackers.
- In the run game, Forsyth explodes off the line of scrimmage and consistently gets out to the second level to do damage.
- Has a stout build with a strong, flexible core. He’s a rock in the middle of the line as a pass protector, with the heavy hands and strong grip to hold his own against bigger defensive tackles.
- In the run game, he shows good burst off the line of scrimmage, with the ability to win at the point of attack. Forsyth has enough speed and athleticism to move to the second level and land blocks.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Has a bad habit of panicking on reach blocks, lunging, and grabbing rather than trusting his athleticism to get him in position, which could lead to frequent flags for holding.
- Is more of a phone-booth blocker who has limited range. He’s also going to be somewhat limited as a pass protector, especially when it comes to mirroring against quickness.
- Often gets too high in his sets, sacrificing some of his power, and Forsyth doesn’t show great coordination between his upper and lower body when sliding back in pass protection.
- Has enough power in the run game, but at times he seems to lack a mean streak.
