AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
 Quickness Off Ball
Plays with balance and shows outstanding body control. …Is physical at the point of attack and plays with a bit of a nasty streak. …Takes angles and consistently hits moving targets. …Pulls and traps extremely well. …Excellent base to anchor against the rush. Locks on and sustains blocks.


Biography:
As a senior, Sawtelle earned All-Catholic, All-County and All-Metro honors. He was also named to the Detroit News "Dream Team".

Sawtelle is a slim 285-pounds and he'll get much bigger at the next level. Grandfather played at Tennessee and is considered one of the greatest Detroit Lions of all time.

Coach's Comments - "Starts on both sides of the football for us but projects as a tackle in college. Super feet and very quick and strong. A slim 285-pounds right now, we think he can be 330-pounds by the time he finishes his college career." --Assistant coach David Sofran.
