Here's the full quote from the 247sports talent scout:

"Verified size with plus length. Well-proportioned frame with room for development...Lines up at tackle for South Point and is [a] physical, devastating run blocker. Athleticism shines through when in space. Fires off quickly, up and into defensive player. Plays with quick feet and balance. Has strong base and once engaged is able to push defensive player back at point of attack. Scrapes and gets to second level easily. Plays with strong, heavy hands and finishes blocks consistently. Excellent down blocker. Lateral movement is very good and allows for wide splits."

I don't know if this actually means something or if it's just the sort of thing that gets bandied about when scouts try and think of things to say about recruits. But if this guy plays in a run-heavy offense and specializes in shoving guys off the line, maybe it's an indicator of change in scheme.

A man can hope.
