Elevator pitch

Arguably the top offensive tackle in this year’s class, Fano is a well-rounded

player who possesses great movement skills, overall technique and reactive athleticism to be a very reliable blocker at the next level, but he would benefit from adding more mass in his lower body to be able to sustain against power rushers.

Strengths

Superb athlete…Gets into his sets fluidly and loosely…Quick feet to get to his spots with urgency…Shows great body control and footwork to keep a consistently square base…Shows great, savvy hand techniques to win early…Possesses strong grip strength…Has a high IQ and picks up on stunts and blitzes very well…Seals off defenders to open run lanes…Shows good range on pulls and is very good at the second level…Starts at both tackle spots.

Weaknesses

Flexibility supplements his anchor, but he can be knocked off balance due to only sufficient lower body strength…Has a good set of tools with his upper body, but hand placement can be inconsistent.
