A transfer from Virginia, Olusegun Oluwatimi originally went to Air Force after high school and did not play football. However, the Air Force wasn’t for Oluwatimi, and he transferred to the Cavaliers, where he was a starter for three years. As a grad transfer, he’s been a monster at Michigan this season. That being said, Oluwatimi will have concerns moving to the next level because of his lack of athleticism. He has the power and technique to hold up, but it may push him down draft boards a bit.

Olusegun Oluwatimi scouting notes

Pros:

• Has a good, quick snap set.  
• Very solid upper body strength. 
• Has some brute to his game. Not great, but very good.  
• Has very nice bend and settles into his anchor well. 
• Hand placement looks solid. Does a great job of locking up the defender on their outside shoulders. 
• Very good, strong hands. 
• Shows very solid strength in pass protection.  
• Handles a strong arm pretty well, fights through the attack and focuses on setting his hands well.  
• Very strong run blocker. Gets downhill very well. 
• Solid run blocking technique. Consistently works up into the second level. Shows the proper patience working against defenders in the second level, forces them to make a move against him. 
• Didn’t see any issues with his understanding of the offense or his assignments. 

Cons:

• Athletic ability is average. Doesn’t move much in the Michigan scheme.  When he did, it was less than stellar. 
• Doesn’t show a ton of lateral quickness. 
• Very average lower body. Doesn’t show much explosion or real drive working from his lower half. Wins with his hand technique and upper body strength. 
• Flashes a decent recovery, but struggles at times.
