Pass Protection: Voorhees has the potential to be solid in pass protection if he can clean up some technique issues. His leverage can get away from him- especially at tackle- and he can at times stop his feet. Other than that, Vorhees is decent in pass protection with the potential to grow due to his natural length.
Balance: His natural wide base lends itself well to maintaining balance. Vorhees doesn’t find himself susceptible to leaning or playing with his helmet over his toes. He excels at regaining leverage when the opposing DL gets the advantage on him. Against Stanford, he regained his balance after being stood up and then proceeded to get under the defensive tackle and drive him onto his back into the dirt.
Hand Placement: When Vorhees gets his hands on a defender, it’s game over and he can take them wherever he wants. He has a strong initial punch and
Football IQ: Vorhees excels at presnap reads. He knows who to block and who to leave when the defense overloads on him at the line of scrimmage.
Power: Vorhees’ leverage and strength allow him to drive block defenders downfield. A bulldozer in the run game and a brick wall in pass protection when facing a bull rush, Vorhees plays violent (as cliche as that sounds).
Anchor: Vorhees plays low with a wide base and has a strong core. That anchor is strong enough that head-on rushers struggle at knocking him off balance.
Flexibility: Good lower body for someone of his size (6’6 320). Vorhees is able to flip his hips and change course when needed.
Versatility: Vorhees has largely played left guard for the Trojans but finished last year playing left tackle. He may very well play outside for USC this year, but his tape is better on the interior.
Movement Skills: A plus athlete, Vorhees is able to cover ground in his kick slide at tackle, and able to climb to the second level in the run game.
Footwork/Foot Speed: Vorhees’ feet never cross. He can mirror defenders and kick slide left or right to stay in front.
