Player Summary
Spencer Fano, a three-year starter with versatility at both left and right tackle in run-heavy schemes, plays with a violent, physical demeanor. Possessing loose hips, quick feet, high-end athleticism, good size, and natural strength, he overcomes a leaner frame to deliver strong pass protection: elite recovery, agile mirroring to seal edges, depth in drops, sinking to anchor bull rushes, and feinting punches to disrupt hand fights. In the run game, he excels in movement-based schemes, using quickness for pulling, reaching, and climbing; he fires out with fast hands, sustains blocks through footwork, springs big gains in space, and finishes with punishing intent—though poor fundamentals, high pad level, and core strength deficits limit sustained power blocking. Inconsistencies plague him: vulnerable to inside counters (stunts, spins), oversetting, early outside exposure, lost punch battles, lunging/hugging hands, and displacement by heavy-handed rushers.
