Four-year starter. Transfer from Michigan State prior to the 2024 season. First-team All-ACC this past year. Alignment versatility to lineup from zero-tech to the edge. Quick first step and violent hands to push his way into gaps. Shoots his hands inside to control linemen, and finishes with a strong shed. As a two-gapper he engages with low pad level and keeps his hips square to the backfield. Shoves off smaller linemen to close on the runner. Effective on stunts with quick feet, agility, and bend around the edge. Superb change-of-direction skills to cause linemen to overset before swiftly looping gaps. Bend shows up when cornering around the edge in pass rush. Exceptional closing speed to run through contact and always trying to punch the ball out. Possesses a light frame that will make it difficult to hold up against bigger and longer linemen at the next level. Some hesitancies when engaging, limiting his power on contact. Questions about his contact balance as he gets shoved to the ground on initial engagement. Gets turned out quickly against zone blocking schemes. Short arms make it difficult for him to lock out and keep extension. Struggles to double team and can get moved off the line. Lacks a definitive pass rush move and possesses almost no counters when his initial move stalls out.
2024 Stats: 30 T, 8 TFL, 5.5 sacks, 1 PBU, 3 QBH, 1 FF. Draft projection: 7th round/PFA
