Reshad Sterling

Highly active edge defender with experience at various spots in multiple fronts, but physical specs and play style look like a classic four-man end with a hand on the ground. Verified as a sophomore in the 6-2.5, 215 range, but looked bigger on junior tape. Also showed noticeable point-of-attack violence and speed-to-power ability in Fall 2023. Flashes heavy hands and impressive redirecting suddenness in pursuit. Displays some pass-rush nuance with an effective inside counter and some dip-and-rip arc-running athleticism. Can continue to foster consistency in snap anticipation and get-off quickness. Plays with some ankle flex and quick feet, but hip and knee rigidity can result in playing narrow. P4-caliber defensive end who makes fair share of effort plays that combine with above average functional athleticism and technical awareness.
