Ourlads' Profile:
2020 Guide: What Ourlads' Scouting Services said about TANNER MUSE: Clemson, 6020 227 4.40. Three-year starter, Belmont, NC. Muse was a third team All-America selection and first-team All-ACC in 2019. Played two and one high safety as well as rolling into the box. At his best in the box with solid instincts to support the run. Plays downhill and has linebacker-like reactions on the edge. Outruns and wards off slot blocks in pursuit on the perimeter. Solid straight line speed to chase. Secure physical tackler with few misses. Has ball skills to get to the catch point as a zone defender. High points the ball. In deep coverage has recovery speed if separated. Solid blitz skill beating blockers around the corner on the edge. Creates havoc in the backfield. As a deep zone defender is segmented in movements and wastes steps reacting. Hip tightness is apparent changing directions or mirroring route breaks. Lacks matchup ability as he can get separated too easily on a cut. Has been outstanding in kick coverage and has played on multiple special teams. Size and speed make him an ideal linebacker convert. Teams have to decide if he fits as a hybrid only or can develop as a linebacker. 2019 stats: 55 T, 6 TFL, 2 sacks, 3 PBU, 1 QBH, 4 INT. OSR:3/24. Fourth/fifth round. (A-31 1/2, H-9, VJ-34.5, SS-DNP).
