Scouting Report
Evaluated 04/18/2024
Verified at 6-foot-3 ½ and 240-pounds plus in April of 2024, possesses a collegiate ready frame as he boasts broad shoulders and a muscular lower half. Question growth potential to add a considerable amount of weight at the next level as his frame is somewhat limited due to his shorter wingspan for the position. Displays above average athleticism on both sides of the ball as he’s primarily positioned as a 5-technique in an even front. Shows the ability to win consistently at the point of attack with initial quickness and high motor off the edge. Demonstrates good backside pursuit, plus run and chase ability as he exhibits above average play speed on both offense and defense. Productive two-way prospect that accounted for over 1,100 yards receiving and 19 sacks in his junior campaign and projects as a immediate depth contributor and eventual starter at a Power Four program. Position projection will be heavily reliant on his growth trajectory as he could ultimately end up playing in a standup role in an odd front at the next level.
