Ryan Wallace
TE | 6'6" 230
Hometown: Bowling Green, KY
School: Bowling GreenHigh School
Evaluation: Wallace is a big target at tight end who flashes some quality skill. Steady in both the run and pass game. He uses his size to make an impact at receiver. Builds up adequate-to-good straight-line speed after the catch and will run through arm tackles on occasion. He snags most of his grabs when separating on intermediate drag and seam routes. Shows an adequate release but is a savvy route runner. He deceptively finds the empty zone behind the linebackers and does a good job settling in space. Reliable hands for a big target. Blocking might be his best attribute. He attacks aggressively and tries to control defenders. Good drive blocker. Plays with a solid base and explodes with his hips. However, he needs improvement with his angle blocks. He can show difficulty walling off defenders and working up to the next level. Consistently must get a quicker jump off the ball and improve his footwork and athleticism. He needs to polish skills on the receiving end. At times, it looks like he fights the ball into his hands, slowing down the transition of turning up field. After the catch, he needs to either become a decent speed threat or a pile dragger. Currently, he's not a big threat at either. He appears to play bigger than his listed measurables. He flashes the heavy legs and mobility of a player weighing 30 pounds more, but still needs to improve his speed and overall athleticism to be an effective receiving tight end at the next level. Ryan definitely shows upside if a team is willing to put the time into developing him.
Pending Ryan’s performance at camp, he may receive an offer soon. We are in the market for two good TEs and our committable offers are dwindling away quickly. Ryan may be just what we are looking for.
