Plyler on Freeman: "Technique-wise Freeman was the best offensive lineman in South Carolina this past year. He is going to have to get stronger and grow into his body but his upsize is limitless. I think he is going to grow into an interior lineman and he has just enough nasty to be a really good run blocker."
