Jaylen Gilchrist

Combo O-line prospect with the physical specs and experience to play outside, but a particularly high ceiling when projected to the interior. Wears his mass well and even trimmed down a bit from Spring 2023 to Spring 2024. Long-armed and heavy-handed. Flashes some punch power in the run game. Really overwhelms high school competition when footwork aligns with timing in his hands. Sometimes gets upright at the snap and bends at the waist, but typically does a good job recovering. showing encouraging body control when engaged and hip-sinking leverage post-snap/mid-rep. Possesses the functional athleticism to pull and climb on schedule with room to improve balance and cut down on wasted motion in space. Strong point-of-attack player who can recover from an initial knock-back with sudden power and conviction. Projects as a potential high-major offensive lineman who could play a variety of positions. Owns the physical tools and functional athleticism on tape and in live camp exposure to indicate substantial long-term upside that could lead to the pro level.
