Scouting Report: Strengths
- Showed impressive range and the ability to get out and land blocks on the move
- As a pass protector, Oluwatimi plays with good balance and holds up against the bull rush. Oluwatimi has strong hands and does a nice job gripping and latching on once he has his hands on the pass rusher.
- Has the agility, technique, and size to contribute early in his professional career. Quick, active hands to latch on to defenders.
- Cerebral player, quick to react to twists and stunts up front, and he shows an excellent understanding of angles when moving out as a run blocker.
- Uses his hands well, with good hand placement to maximize his powerful punch. Oluwatimi shows impressive coordination between his upper and lower body when moving in pass protection.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Oluwatimi is prone to playing off-balance and struggling against counter moves.
- He’ll occasionally stop his feet when delivering a punch, and he doesn’t play with ideal balance when moving back into his set. He’ll often struggle to mirror if he can’t win early on passing plays.
- His kick slide is inconsistent, and he’ll often set too high; he’ll get pushed around by speed-to-power guys in the NFL.
- 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.
