Alabama Football 2026: The Game-Changing Offensive Linemen You Didn’t See Coming – Part 2
Where Strayhorn gets in trouble is when he has to keep up with someone in space, whether in the passing game or running game. He struggled a couple of times with counter moves across his face while dropping to pass block, and one of his worst moments was being too slow as a pulling guard on a cross-formation backside block and getting his running back cracked.
Essentially, he’s got the power and excellent technique, but is lacking in speed and length, and that limits his options for use.
Scheme Fit and Prediction
I think Strayhorn is best suited long term to be a center, but I think he’ll be a step behind a more experienced guy for that spot. Int he meantime, I think he’ll also be in the competition for a starting guard job, and if he doesn’t win a spot, he’ll be a primary interior rotational guy that gets snaps every game and picks up a few starts if there are injuries.
