Mobile zone-scheme center with 40+ career SEC starts and the footwork to execute reach blocks and climb to the second level as well as any pivot in this class. Tollison's lateral agility and spatial awareness in pass protection make him a scheme-specific weapon in Shanahan-tree outside zone systems, but his undersized frame (6-4, 290), short arms, and lack of functional anchor leave him exposed against NFL-caliber bull rushers. His hand usage is still developmental — blocks get swiped, framing is inconsistent, and he struggles to sustain engagement against power. This is a practice-squad-to-backup center projection whose path to a roster is narrow: a zone-heavy team that values movement skills over play strength, willing to invest in a developmental year at the bottom of the roster.
- Exceptional lateral mobility and footwork for a center — fires out of his stance for stretch and reach blocks with plus quickness
- Spatial awareness in pass protection allows him to identify and adjust to stunts and blitz packages quickly
- Maintains consistent low pad level and leverage, particularly effective when working in combination blocks
- 40+ career starts in the SEC with Joe Moore Award Watch List offensive line — battle-tested against top competition
- Capable of pulling and lead blocking in space on screens and outside runs — moves like a skill player in the open field
- Lacks the anchor and play strength to stalemate NFL bull rushes — gets driven back and displaced when defenders get into his chest
- Short arm length and undersized frame (290 lbs) create a narrow margin for error in one-on-one pass protection reps
- Hand usage is developmental — hands arrive wide and late, block framing is poor, defenders easily swipe and redirect around him
- Cannot generate consistent leg drive or displacement in the run game at the point of attack
Similar profile as a mobile, undersized center who wins with footwork, intelligence, and leverage in zone-blocking systems but lacks the power and anchor to hold up in phone-booth situations. Pocic carved out a long career as a backup/spot-starter in zone-heavy schemes.
