Reminds Us Of

Marcell Dareus
Marcell Dareus

AlabamaAlabama · HS Class of 2008
Buffalo2011 Draft · Rnd 1 · Pick 3

David Folorunsho's size and movement skills remind us of Marcell Dareus at the same stage. Like Dareus, Folorunsho is a twitched up, long defensive lineman with game-wrecking ability. They are of similar size at the same stage, with Dareus adding considerable mass in college and beyond. Dareus was also a more fluid mover at the same stage.

David Folorunsho Scouting Summary
Charles Power
04/30/26

Twitched up defensive lineman with a rare combination of size and athleticism along the interior. Measured at 6-foot-3, 285 pounds with 34 inch arms prior to his senior season. Came onto the national scene following a breakout junior campaign. Plays all over the defensive line, lining up on the edge and along the interior. Able to quickly disengage and flashes encouraging hand usage for a young player. Shows elite burst on film, darting into the backfield and running sideline-to-sideline with ease. Closing speed is jarring. Looks like a linebacker when tracking down ball carriers in pursuit. Finished with 15 tackles for loss and five sacks as a junior. Still mastering technique and will need continued development but has one of the highest upsides among defensive linemen in the 2027 cycle.
