Scouting Report

Padilla is know for his overall drive, toughness, and excellent technique. A little small for a college player but will have time at Ohio State under their strength and conditioning coach to grow into the desired size to play.

While Padilla had a noticeable growth spurt over the summer, he certainly still has room to grow as he gets older and adds more weight. Today, Padilla checked in at around 270 pounds, but as he gets stronger and bigger, his playing strength will only increase as well as his overall technique as a lineman.

His best position as a college player is likely as a center, but he could also play guard if needed. Regardless of where he plays, his toughness and work ethic will help him on the interior of Ohio State’s offensive line.

High School Stats

Padilla has played at right offensive tackle for Wayne HS since when he was a freshman, but he will shift inside at the next tier.
