2024 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about JOE ALT:
Notre Dame | HT: 6085 | WT: 321 | 40 time: 5.05 | Arm: 3414 | Hand: 1000 | Wing: 8234
Junior entry, three-year starter. Unanimous first team All-America. Son of John Alt, a former Kansas City first round pick and two-time Pro Bowler and brother to Mark Alt who played in the NHL for five seasons. A former basketball player, tight end, and quarterback. Alt is a young, unique tackle with NFL lineage that is still relatively early on the progression curve of the position. He blends top-shelf physical tools and ability with reliable intangibles and maturity. The team captain is a high-floor, high-ceiling prospect. While he does not always play with an upright chest and his high-hipped frame can create the occasional mishap, his losses on tape are hard to find. He will start at either tackle spot early in his career and is set up to be a key player for a long time at a premium position. Unique skill set with natural, easy athleticism that shows up across the board. Patient out of his stance with heavy, accurate hands that he keeps inside the shoulders when engaged. Has been penalized just four times across over 2,200 snaps. Gets his hands on first, knows when to strike. Has the lower body fluidity to mirror and latch at all levels. Will extend his arms and keep defender away without losing balance. Recovery tactics are quick and sudden. Makes things look smooth, easy, and repeatable. Youth is on his side, will be 21-years old as a rookie. Gets high-hipped in his stance and will need to fight the tendency to hinge too much from the waist. Susceptible to heavy-handed defensive linemen. Leverage losses will show up occasionally at that size no matter what. Will not create much downhill push in the running game.
OSR:1/50. Draft projection: 1st round
