One year starter. Second team All-SEC in 2024. Transfer from Oregon in 2023. Linear high cut frame with long arms. Normally played in a two point stance anywhere from a wide nine to a five technique. Uses long arms and strong hands to punch and get separation on blocks. Most effective from a 6 alignment playing over a tight end. Can stack and shed to set the edge, quickly coming off the block and pursuing. Excellent range, he can chase to the perimeter. Above average agility, he can slow play the zone read and quickly redirect to chase. Effective on inside stunts he can flatten and chase on plays away. Can be explosive tackling but mostly wraps and drives using his big tackle radius. Has been used in flat coverage and shows a quick drop and range getting underneath intermediate routes and breaking on the short throw. As a pass rusher, shows a quick first step and will work off his punch into a move. Tends to go through the blocker and take the side of least resistance. Will stutter step to open up an inside or outside rush lane. Excellent acceleration to the quarterback with an opening. Flashes bending around the arc but occasionally loses balance working the corner. Could use more technique as his pass rush arsenal is limited with little in the way of a counter. Tends to just go. Will attack pullers but tends to get too far upfield and high on the block. At times, lunges and leaves his feet on tackles causing some misses. Powerful tackles can knock him upright and stalemate him. Has upside as a pass rusher who needs to develop but could be a solid starter on the edge.
2024 Stats: 58 T, 13 TFL, 8.5 sacks, 3 PBU, 12 QBH, 2 FF. Draft projection: 2nd/3rd round
