Disruptive defensive lineman with the athletic profile and physical attributes that point to a high upside. Measured in at around 6-foot-4 prior to his senior season and added considerable mass in his final year, putting on around 30 pounds, to get into the 260-270 pound range. Has plus length for the position with a big frame that has filled out. An explosive athlete on Friday nights. Lined up inside and on the edge as a senior. Shows outstanding first step quickness and closing speed. Comes low off the snap, playing with good pad level despite facing smaller offensive linemen. Explodes to make plays in the backfield. Creates disruption at a high rate, even on plays he doesn't finish. Rangy defender who can run down plays from behind. Sticks out like a sore thumb on Friday nights, with his size and movement skills. Shows the ability to convert speed to power as a pass rusher in the camp setting. Also works as a tight end and fullback on offense. Three-sport athlete, also participating in basketball and track and field. A double-digit scorer and above-the-rim athlete on the hardwood. Posted a 44-10 foot shot put toss as a junior. Will need to adjust to the uptick in competition, coming from a lower level of high school football.
