I would not be shocked to see him starting on this line. He could be a the guy to beat Carman out for a starting spot and not because Carman is bad but because this kid is that good. I am adding a link below and watch this film and see how many times this kid blocks 2 to 3 defenders on a single play and watch how many of the successful runs are directly behind him whether it is his normal gap or him pulling or sliding.

He looks to just bury defenders and is just a technically sound player. I become more and more thankful that he is a part of this O line room. From what I have seen he has consistently played the right side of the line just like Cappa.

Agreed, it's easy to see why the Bengals drafted him if you start checking out his NDSU footage. To be concise, he's a "glass eater" that the Bengals want for '22 - 23. Some of the scouting reports list his primary weakness as, "level of competition" but I'm at a point where I can dismiss that or else the NFL would never have successful players from schools that aren't from the Power Five conferences.

Volson, at minimum, is going to increase the OL depth while competing for the final starting spot.
