Traits That Make a Center Prospect Great

There’s a lot more than goes in to scouting interior offensive linemen than most fans realize. Strength, flexibility in the hips/knees/ankles, and blocking technique are among some of the most important factors of scouting the top center prospects.

Some of the factors we consider when scouting are included below.

Flexibility

Having flexibility in the hips, knees, and ankles is necessary to react to oncoming rushers and quickly recover. Being stiff or upright is a recipe for getting beaten consistently, so being smooth and bendy provides a massive advantage for all offensive linemen.

Quickness

Linemen rarely need to sprint 40 yards, but having quick feet is as important as any trait. While everyone thinks about linemen as mostly big, much of the play in the trenches is decided by footwork. If you don’t have the quickness to properly move your feet, you’re going to find yourself out of position.

Mental Traits

Beyond the traditional roles of offensive linemen, the center has a particular assortment of mental traits they need to have. Overall football IQ, play recognition, effective communication, and consistency in challenging environments are all vital given their role in pre-snap reads and snapping the ball.

Power

Generating power in the run game to open up holes, holding your base against massive nose tackles, and keeping your balance when passing off a block are just a few ways that power is important for a lineman. It isn’t all about bench reps, power is usually generated from the core and lower body.

Overall Opinion of the 2025 C Class

This center class is severely lacking at the top, but there’s potential for really nice depth. The strength of the class will likely depend on how many players enter early, but it looks unlikely that center-needy teams will be happy when the 2025 draft rolls around.
