Scouting Report
✦ Analyst's Take
Reliable carrier, consistent defensive presence

Across 62 matches O'Brien has shown himself to be a steady contributor in both phases, averaging over seven carries per game and consistently eating up ground with the ball in hand. His tackle numbers are modest on a per-game basis but he has demonstrated the capacity to handle a much heavier defensive workload when required, peaking at ten tackles in a single outing. Nine tries over this sample further underlines his ability to threaten the line when opportunities present themselves.
