Reminds Us Of

Justin Madubuike Baltimore Ravens

Has moved around some and played end or shaded inside, but as he has gotten older and grown into his body more, it has becoming increasingly clear that he will be a three-technique long term. Quick off the ball and is a good penetrator. Also quick with his hands. Plays with good bend and leverage and can get skinny and not allow offensive linemen to get a good punch off on him. In terms of measureables, he isn't going to be the biggest, the longest or maybe the straight up fastest prospect, but he plays hard, has great short area quickness and is a strong bet to be a productive player at the high-major level.

H.S. Athletic Background

Also competes in shot put and discus.
Ohio D-I state qualifier as a junior in the shot put. Posted junior year throws of 51-1.5, 51-0.75, 50-7, and 50-6. Added several between 44-0 and 48-5. Also recorded discus throws of 126-1 and 115-10.
