Strengths
DiVall is a player that I am really excited to see grow and develop with the Baylor coaching staff. He quit playing soccer in order to focus on football then went three years with little playing time or an injury issue. Finally he gets to play his senior year on the defensive line before moving to offensive line three games into the season. Then he went to prep school for a year at Bridgton Academy to try to get more repetitions, experience, and exposure. I like all of this because it shows that he still has a lot of room to grow and learn because he is nowhere close to a finish product. The staff will be able to mold him into a fantastic guard for the future. His ability to pull from the guard position to create running lanes for running backs is something Baylor has lacked at times over the past two years. He is 6’4, 285 pounds and has a 6’7 wingspan to go along with 4.9 40-yard speed. The potential is there for him to be a major contributor for the Bears.
Weaknesses
His main weakness is his lack of experience but I am also a little concerned with his strength and pass blocking. Since he has not played a ton of football it could be an adjustment for him. He has to get the technique/positioning down that others have been practice for 2-3x as long. The strength part is natural for all offensive lineman but I think he may have some work to do in that department. The last concern is pass blocking.
How I see him fitting in at Baylor
I think he redshirts this year and then gets some playing time his RS-FR season. I actually think he could very well end up being a starter by his third year on campus.

He does not have a ton of film nor experience which hurts him a little bit. I also think pass blocking will take a little time but his ability to move people in the run game will be huge. I also like that he got some good offers late from Oregon and Maryland. He will outperform national rankings.
