Joakim Gouda Scouting Reports

2 Reports
  1. Joakim Gouda Scouting Summary

    Primary
    Charles Power5/11/26

    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.

  2. Joakim Gouda makes big splash in Rivals300 overhaul

    Charles Power2/16/26

    Joakim Gouda (No. 30) has some of the best linebacker film we’ve seen in the 2027 cycle to this point. The Douglasville (Ga.) South Paulding standout is a missile to the football. He shows elite instincts and play speed, quickly triggering and tracking down ball carriers from sideline-to-sideline.
