Matt Kalil (Athlon Consensus #18)

Matt Kalil

Committed to USC

The Skinny

Father played for Buffalo Bills and brother was standout at USC

The Analysis

Kalil, the younger brother of Ryan Kalil, former USC Trojan and NFL rookie center, is a complete tackle prospect. What made the undersized Ryan so good was his technically sound brand of football. He was as fundamentally sound as a college center could have been; if Matt is capable of being as sound in his discipline as his older brother he could be great. This is because Matt is much bigger than Ryan. 


At the moment, Matt’s pass blocking is easily his strength. He does show good technique in getting his drops and shooting his hands. His good balance and quick, decisive feet allow him to mirror pass rushers very well. In the run game, knee bend and leverage will be areas of focus once Kalil gets to Southern Cal.
