Durant is a mammoth, tough right tackle prospect with solid fundamentals and good feet. Not the most athletic o-lineman, but can pull, get out in space, and secure blocks in the open field when he has to. Finishes his blocks well in the run game. Shows good lateral mobility for his size in pass pro. Keeps a strong base and moves his feet well.
Should stay on the right side, however, does not have the athleticism to keep up with the SEC's elite pass rushers. He would benefit from losing some weight to increase his mobility, wouldn't sacrifice much of his strength in the process. Is a bit of a waist-bender, can get over-extended in the run game.
Overall, Durant can come in right away and be a serviceable piece of the offensive line, but has limited upside.
