Sam Greer

Physical Profile

At 6'7"/310 with the long arms and frame of a prototype left tackle, Greer carries elite measurables for the position — the kind of length that lets him set the edge depth against speed rushers and keep rushers at distance once he locks on. His basketball background (drew hoops offers from Akron and Kent State) shows up in his lower-body bend, lateral quickness, and balance, which is uncommon at his height. The build still has room to fill toward 320+ without sacrificing movement, and his proportions suggest he can carry that weight cleanly into a college frame.

Play Style

Greer is a left-tackle-by-trade who plays with tempo and nasty hands. On film he's an effective run blocker who creates movement at the point and is quick to release to the second level, and he finishes blocks with a clear mean streak. In pass protection he relies on length and quick feet to set the edge and absorb speed, and his athletic recovery lets him stay attached when rushers try to convert speed-to-power. He anchored a Hoban line that went 10-2 and reached an Ohio Division II regional final, then held up against elite competition as an East starter at the all-star level.

Strengths

• Length and frame for the blindside — 6'7" with the wingspan to win first contact, recover against counters, and protect the QB's back side; ideal LT prototype dimensions.
• Violent, quick hands in the run game — reported as a finisher who fires his hands and plays with an edge, generating displacement and burying defenders through the whistle.
• Movement skills from a basketball background — gets to the second level efficiently and climbs to linebackers, with the bend and lateral agility (rare at his height) to mirror in pass pro; validated by a starting LT nod for the East in the Navy All-American Bowl.

Areas to Improve

• Pad level and leverage consistency — extremely tall tackles must win the leverage battle through technique; he'll need to play with consistent knee bend rather than waist bend against shorter, lower bull rushers.
• Anchor and core/lower-body strength against power — adding functional mass and refining hand placement to neutralize long-arm and bull-rush moves from Big Ten edge defenders, where he'll face far more refined power than at the Ohio HS level.

College Projection

A developmental redshirt-then-starter track at Ohio State is the realistic timeline. The physical tools and all-star pedigree give him a path to the two-deep early, but like most tall HS tackles he'll spend his first year adding strength and refining leverage/anchor in a power-conference strength program before competing for the left tackle job by year two or three.

NFL Outlook

Legitimate Day 1-2 NFL upside if development tracks. Premium-position prospect (LT) with the length, athleticism, and finishing temperament evaluators covet — the traits don't need to be manufactured. Draft ceiling hinges on technical refinement (leverage, anchor, hand timing vs. NFL-caliber rushers); floor is a swing/right tackle. Tools-wise, he profiles as one of the higher-upside tackles in the class.

Best Fit

A power-gap or zone-heavy pro-style offense in a developmental, technique-driven program — exactly what Ohio State offers. A scheme that lets him pull, climb, and finish in the run game while leaning on his length in pass sets maximizes him. He thrives where a strength program can build his anchor and an O-line room can refine his pad level over a redshirt year.
