Isaiah Hastings

A big, athletic interior pass rusher with plenty of upside. Still learning the game of football after growing up in Canada, but has the potential to emerge as a difference maker at the Power 5 level given how he moves for someone that’s 6-foot-4, 300 pounds. Equipped with longer arms owning a near 84-inch wingspan and more importantly a nice initial burst. Uses wide base to wedge himself through gaps and overpower opposing offensive linemen. Wins more times than not with a simple bull rush, but has also developed a few different pass-rushing moves and is pretty versed in hand-to-hand combat. Not the type of player to give up on many plays and finds ways to make stops outside the hashes. Transferred into a small private school outside of Tampa, Fla. for his senior season and didn't need much, if any, time to adjust to the speed of American football totaling 24 quarterback hurries and 6.5 sacks in seven games. Will need to keep progressing and spend some time in a college weight room, but should eventually work his way into the rotation at a College Football Playoff contender given his size and ability to get after the quarterback. Could be used in a variety of different alignments depending on what is needed at the college of his choice, but will be at his best when he's simply creating push up the middle.
