One-year starter. First-team All-SEC selection last season. Most commonly aligned on the edge in even fronts and at 4i in odd fronts. Possesses exceptional height and fringe weight with a well-built, muscular frame. Utilizes a quick first step off the line and makes good ground upfield. Consistently lands his hands inside and protects his chest. Resets the line-of-scrimmage with a sturdy anchor and considerable ankle flexion to hold the point. Attacks pullers with proper leverage to keep his outside arm free and protect the edge. A solid anchor versus double teams who will sink his pads to lock in his lower body. Good twitch when engaged to change direction quickly and cross-face rapidly to attack the lane. He will fire inside to attack the running back in the backfield after securing the edge. Shows quick feet when shooting gaps matched with his upper body strength to squeeze through in a hurry. Uses low pad level to get underneath blockers on engagement, create extension, and shed with strong hands. A notable athlete who is effective in stunts. Quality change-of-direction to redirect on screens and flares to chase the ball carrier from behind. Uses proper tackling form and physicality to bring ball carriers to the ground. Sometimes showed a false step in his get-off which significantly slowed him down. Lacks a powerful punch and knockback at the point-of-attack. When playing head-up, gets sealed off and needs to fight to get back in position. Lacks sufficient bend off the edge to corner effectively and flip his hips to the quarterback. Needs to utilize more pass rush moves than just push the pocket, especially when coming off the edge. Slow foot speed hinders his effectiveness in pursuit. An intriguing project with the tools to develop into a considerable asset.
