Scouting Report: Strengths
- An agile mover who puts his length to good use, using his hands aggressively and landing solid initial punches. Hinzman can move to the second level as a run blocker, with the coordination and balance to hit moving targets.
- Outstanding in the screen game, both because of his instincts to deceive defenders and mobility to get out in front and land blocks.
- Finishes and doesn't quit; competitor with a positive attitude and leadership traits that coaches admire.
- In the run game, Hinzman plays with a mean streak and does a nice job generating a push at the initial point of attack. Hinzman can get outside and does a decent job landing blocks in space.
- Shows a good feel for combo blocks, and he displays good quickness and flexibility when moving to the second level, capable of sealing the back side on reach blocks
- Takes much more pride in the run game, where he plays through the whistle with tremendous physicality.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Raw as a pass protector, looking choppy and unnatural when moving back into his set, often playing too upright.
- Can struggle to stay engaged, especially on the second level. His hand placement can be sloppy, costing him power.
- Stronger pass rushers can get under his pads and steer him aside.
