He is nasty and looks to bury his opponent on every snap. In addition to his physical toughness, he has the mental toughness to play through injury. He is a huge specimen with long arms, which allow him to control his man in tight spaces. He has great initial pop at the point of attack and sustains his blocks well. Has the athleticism to get out on the perimeter as a lead blocker. He has a good initial hand punch as a pass blocker and bends his knees but needs to get a little more consistent in this area. He will need some work on his technique to use his hands better and improve his leverage but all the tools are there. When he loses the leverage battle, he has a tendency to hold so his position coach at the next level will have to clean that up. Iupati will be the first guard off the board and the team that takes him can start him from day one.
