Missouri · HS Class of 2023
2026 Draft · Rnd 2 · Pick 46Like Josiah Trotter, Joakim Gouda is a thickly built, instinctive and physical linebacker. Both are high-end run defenders who play with a physical edge. Gouda is more advanced as a prospect at the same stage and looks to be a better athlete as a high school prospect based on play speed. There are similarities between the body type and overall skill set when projecting to college and beyond.
Team Predictions
Scouting Report
Thumping inside linebacker with instincts and play speed that stand out among the 2027 linebacker group. Measured in at around 6-foot-1.5 and over 230 pounds with good length prior to his senior season. Posted a breakout junior season, emerging as a national prospect in the process. A throwback inside linebacker. Quickly diagnoses plays and triggers downhill. Able to stack and shed to get off of blocks when working as a run defender between the tackles. Flashes high-end burst and closing speed in pursuit and as a blitzer. Shows some ability in coverage, but at his best when moving downhill. Finished his junior season with 100 tackles and two sacks. Will need to watch his weight as he is heavier than most future NFL Draft picks at the position. Younger for the cycle, turning 17 years-old in August of his senior year. One of the more instinctive pure linebacker prospects in the 2027 cycle.
