Kam Franklin

Unverified at 6-foot-5 and 265-pounds, possesses growth potential to add additional weight to his frame and potentially move inside at the next level depending on the scheme. Displays good athletic ability off the edge and shows the ability to play in either a two or three point stance.

Exhibits a good first step off the line of scrimmage with above average foot and body quickness. Plays high off the ball and possesses some slight hip and ankle stiffness but overcompensates with length and ability to close space quickly. Straight line mover with adequate bend and change of direction ability. Wins with quickness and burst to close ability at the point of attack. Flashes good play strength but needs to continue to develop the ability to play through his hands and utilize his length and frame to his advantage. Demonstrates an above average motor and accounts for a lot of his sack production with pure hustle plays.

Projects as a multi-scheme defender with the ability to play on the edge or on the interior depending on scheme. Will more than likely continue to add a considerable amount of weight to his frame and move inside as skill set potentially suits him best on the interior. Potential all-conference prospect that will need a year to technically develop on Saturdays but has the physical clay and versatility to be a valuable asset at the next level. Length and linear explosiveness could see him grow into an interior force capable of playing the run and pass equally as well.
