Dennis Daley, OT, South Carolina #74

6052, 324, 5.24

Notes: From Columbia, SC. Played at Georgia Military College in 2015-16. Junior college transfer who played in 12 games, making 11 starts at left tackle for the Gamecocks in 2017. Started all 12 games at left tackle in 2018. Graduated in December 2018 with a degree in interdisciplinary studies.

Positives: Nice size and athletic ability. Good length. Can move his feet and slide in pass protection. Nice initial punch. Can jolt defenders. Good balance. Can adjust to redirect. Good natural strength. Can anchor. Can handle zone-blocking assignments and get to the second level.

Negatives: Can still use some technique refinement. Falls off blocks at times instead of finishing with authority.

Summary: Still a bit raw, but has the tools to develop into a starting left tackle.

Dennis Daley (LT 74 - South Carolina) w/good base and hand placement. Recognizes the blitz and does a good job by not crossing is set foot and his post foot. Puts some decent ability to transition laterally pic.twitter.com/MGRlJS4FmL

Dennis Daley does a decent job in his kick slide but the moment he crosses his post foot with his set foot, Clelin Ferrell does great job recognizing opportunity to counter back inside w/the spin move. Ferrell hits Daley w/the ice pick and pressures Bentley.
