The Skinny
His father played for the rival Hurricanes and in the NFL
The Analysis
It has become a dead horse, but attitude is just so important when evaluating offensive line prospects, and Patchan has plenty of it. He looks to destroy defenders on every play. His uses nice quickness and burst off the line to get a strong initial push. For a high school player, Patchan plays with great pad level. It gives him the ability to fire off low and hard on run plays and really cave in the edge of a defensive line.
He is a solid pass blocker as well, although this is the area that needs the most improvement. His pass drops as a whole will need fundamental improvement. His hand technique is strong, using powerful punches and clubs to keep smaller, edge rushers at bay. His footwork and hips can, at times, get him off balance and then will be susceptible to power bull rushes. These little technical things will be addressed, and Patchan will be a dominant force along the o-line.
