Possesses a terrific frame that should allow ample physical development in college. Physical ceiling is very high thanks to height and length. Natural projected position is a weak-side defensive end with a hand on the ground, or a hybrid edge rusher in an odd front. However, frame potential could lead to bulk addition that results in a strong-side role. Shows fairly good quickness off the ball. Closes well relative to size. Flashes enough speed to beat tackles around the edge. Has also shown inside counter after setting up opponent outside. Cognizant of passing lanes and gets hands up when he can’t get to the QB. Needs to add bulk and strength to transition to the college game, particularly to stand up to run-game competition. Must improve leverage consistency. Plays high too often. Speed rush and inside counter are there, but can add nuance to expand pass-rushing repertoire. Low-floor, high-ceiling prospect with great long-term potential.
