What the tape shows
Taj White possesses impressive size and mobility for the offensive tackle position, demonstrating a strong understanding of run-blocking angles and the ability to position himself effectively. His athleticism allows him to move well in space, which is a valuable asset in both zone and power schemes. However, he currently lacks consistent power at the point of attack, as his initial push is not always sufficient to displace defenders. Technical aspects such as footwork, hand placement, and body posture require significant refinement; he tends to lean excessively after contact, which compromises his balance and leverage. White also struggles against speed rushers, often failing to deliver a violent and timely initial punch, leaving him vulnerable on the edge. With focused coaching and attention to these technical deficiencies, he has the potential to develop into a reliable and impactful contributor on the offensive line, particularly if he can harness his physical tools and improve his technique.
