He fires off the line with great force, plays the game with good pad level and explodes his hips through contact in the run game, allowing him to get strong movement at the point of attack. "Boudreaux is a strong finisher that seems to enjoy putting opponents on their backs. … He must shore up his technique, but his potential at guard is outstanding."
