Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Strachan possesses an intriguing blend of size and movement skills. Strachan has good length, wide shoulders, and long arms, and Strachan has room to add weight.
  • His fluidity and speed allow him to cover a lot of ground when dropping back into zone, and he is capable of turning and running with tight ends.
  • He’s a fluid, fast and aggressive tackling machine, an elite athlete considering his size (he has room to add more weight to his frame).
  • Good all-around athlete with very good short-area quickness and fluidity. Very good playing strength and has worked hard in the weight room, adding bulk and filling out his frame.
  • Handles misdirection well with quick change-of-direction ability. Comes downhill quickly against the run when he has an open lane.
  • Best attribute. Extreme quickness off the edge, has the flexibility to turn the corner.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Does not blow up targets. Many inside tackles are catch-and-drags, which will be more difficult to make at the next level.
  • He'll add quality depth but must earn more than a backup/special teams role.
  • Attacks the line but needs work on stacking and shedding blocks.
