Height does not neccasarily mean you can't get low, it all depends on your body type and your proportion of center of gravity which gives you balance, long legs on a tall guy could provide problems, but if he's proportioned properly with a good base on the lower half of his body he should be able to get as low as he needs to be. As for him being able to handle the guard position? Haven't really seen him play so I don't know, but I do think he would have a hard time not out performing Dockery, Dockery missed block after block, I think we will be pleasantly surprised with our O-line this year if we get good play [it doesn't have to be great] at the left guard position.
