Scouting Report: Strengths
- Showing some nastiness to his game, Travis will sustain blocks through the whistle, thriving when he’s in the phone booth.
- Quick to get his hands up and will use his length to his advantage early in the down.
- Has the feet to adjust when he anticipates what's coming. Effective trapping and bends at the knees with adequate core strength to absorb the bull rush. Can clear a path at the second level if he hits the target.
- Is effective when asked to pull, showing the agility, speed, and overall range to get out as a lead blocker, where he locates defenders and shows the ability to adjust and land blocks against linebackers.
- He’s especially light on his feet considering his size, a fluid mover who has natural balance as he kick-slides and sets. Travis has the long arms to ward off pass rushers and send them flying past the pocket.
- Outstanding on reach blocks, showing good initial quickness and flexibility to seal the backside. He’s a heady player who is quick to recognize and react to twists and stunts up front, and he shows a good sense of timing on combo blocks.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Too often is pushed back into the pocket during pass protection becaus~ Travis bends at the waist rather than at the knees. Relies more on precise angles than physicality in the running game.
- Stops his feet after initial contact, relying on length but allowing defender to get the corner or spin inside.
- Has fairly heavy feet, struggling to mirror against quicker defenders. Travis lacks the range to get out as an effective puller, and he can often look stiff when moving out into space and zeroing in on bodies.
