Kingsley Suamataia-OT-BYU

May 1, 2023 at 9:44 AM
If you're looking for a tackle to follow this upcoming season, this would be a good one. He's going to be moving from right tackle to left tackle with Freeland heading off to the NFL. To sum it up, he's Mike McGlinchey with more bulk and power. Outstanding run blocker, very athletic despite his size, a work in progress as a pass blocker but has all the physical tools to get better.

If he has a great season he will play himself well beyond the 49ers range but there's a lot of Tristan Wirfs in his game. For what Kyle is looking for in his offense, not sure there's many better fits at tackle.


3. Kingsley Suamataia, BYU, offensive lineman

Coaches have always been great resources for this project over the years. That said, it's been awhile since I stared at a response as long as I did the one I received from BYU offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick this month.

"Kingsley Suamataia is the most athletic and violent OL I've ever coached. More athletic than Garett Bolles when I was at Utah. More athletic than Blake Freeland," he wrote.

Bolles was a first-round pick and has started all 82 games he's played in the NFL, and the 6-8, 302-pound Freeland, BYU's left tackle last year, lit up the combine last spring by running a 4.98 40, vertical-jumping 37 inches — a combine record for offensive tackles — and broad-jumping 10-0, which was 1 inch away from the combine record for that, too. More athletic than Freeland, especially in that Suamataia weighs 23 pounds more, seemed like a mouthful.

The 6-6, 325-pound Suamataia didn't allow a sack last season, a run of 361 pass plays.

"Kingsley is off the charts," BYU sports scientist Skyler Mayne says. "He's faster than our linebackers. He's just a Freak in the weight room. What makes it look different from Blake is that Kingsley just makes it look a little more effortless. Blake was a better jumper, but Kingsley was our fastest lineman by a good bit."

According to Mayne, Suamataia hit 21.5 MPH last year as a 318-pound freshman. That's really good for a 218-pounder, much less an athlete 100 pounds more than that.

"He's so fluid and smooth," Mayne says. "I think he could run in the 4.8s. He's definitely a sub-5 guy (in the 40). He's super explosive and can throw a ton of weight around. You watch him on the field throw a big defensive end around with one arm, and he doesn't even break stride. If he wanted to be a tight end or fullback, because he's so naturally gifted and has the agility, he could."

If McGlinchey was a top end athlete. So maybe more of a Wirfs.

LOL

I am Mike's biggest defender, but this made me laugh. The 49ers have missed Glinch this year. He was a tremendous run blocker. He was replaced by someone who may be slightly better at pass protection, but is nowhere near Glinch in terms of overall play and ability.

I hope the 49ers use the next draft to beef up the offensive line, but I state this wish year after year only to see the top picks used for skill players, defensive linemen and kickers.

i'm liking the OL prospect threads near the top of the draft forum. That needs to be the focus in the first two rounds.

I'm liking Suamataia as the tackle in the first.
Look at grabbing another tackle latter even.

Frankly, he is starting to look like a young version of the next Trent.
