The Hurricanes’ best offensive lineman in an average group attempts to convince NFL franchises that the best is yet to come with his game.
Tyree St. Louis has been a mainstay on the Miami O-Line for 3 seasons now, starting 34 games from 2016 to 2018 at both right and left tackle. One of the only true tackles on UM’s roster for the past few years, St. Louis was heavily relied on and started every game at left tackle in his senior season, where he played well enough to garner an All-ACC honorable mention.
Pre-Draft Measurables
Height: 6’5”
Weight: 314 pounds
Arms: 34 1/2”
Hands: 9 1/4”
Strengths
Size/Frame
Big bodied with a wide frame and good length. Has the look of a prototypical tackle in the league. Stronger in his base than his upper body.
Blocking in Space
St. Louis shows potential as a climb blocker, as he has the necessary athleticism and quickness off the snap to get out in front and reach the second level. Comfortable pulling and his length allows him to increase his range working on an island.
Weaknesses
Power
Doesn’t play with great leverage or weight distribution, which hurts his power at the point of attack. Doesn’t get much push as a run blocker and shows poor initial punch. Struggles to redirect block at times.
Balance
His upper body and lower body are often not in sync and this throws him out of whack. Does not play with much bend and plays too upright. A frequent lunger, which gets him off-kilter and makes him easy prey for power rushers.
Draft Projection: UDFA
There were a segment of scouts that were high on St. Louis heading into his senior season due to his quick feet off the snap and they loved his move to left tackle. However, he had an up and down year and has carried the same bad habits with him throughout his career. His lack of play strength and power will likely keep him from having the positional versatility to also play guard, a key component that many teams value in the late rounds and harms his ability to stay on a roster. Although he has appealing size to work with and he is sure to get a shot on the UDFA market, St. Louis has not progressed enough from a technical standpoint to be considered anything other than a developmental prospect.
