SI All-American Candidate Robert Wyrsch Highlights and Evaluation

Robert Wyrsch is an offensive line prospect from Soquel High School in Soquel, Calif. Wyrsch is an SI All-American candidate.

Prospect: Robert Wyrsch
Status: SI All-American candidate
Vitals: 6-foot-7, 270 pounds
Position: Offensive Tackle  
School: Soquel (Calif.) Soquel 
Committed to: Washington
Projected Position: Offensive Tackle  

Frame: Long limbs with plenty of room to add size all around. Fairly fluid hips and impressive reach. 

Athleticism: Clear to all he belongs on the offensive side of the ball at the next level, but his film on the defensive line does offer a peek at his impressive overall athleticism as an emerging 6’7 monster. Quick, choppy feet. 

Instincts: Great motor through the whistle. Wyrsch has shown impressive vision on the defensive side of the ball, and he understands the importance of pursuit angles on plays bouncing outside the tackle box. Plays with an attitude. 

Polish: Not much film to judge leverage as a blocker, but his leverage as a defensive lineman is virtually nonexistent. Still, he is winning nearly every one-one battle. Violent with his hands. 

Bottom Line: Wyrsch needs to add more strength overall, but Wyrsch’s burst off the line is second to none in the state of California. He’s going to be a project for a willing offensive line coach, but there’s been more than a few willing to take on the task. When one can move as he does at his size, the sky is the limit.
