Buffalo | Hometown: West Seneca, NY | HT: 6002 | WT: 221 | 40 time: 4.63 | Hand: 0938 | Arm: 3000 | Wing: 7438
Three year starter. First team All-MAC and consensus All-American in 2024. Led the MAC in tackles in 2024. Led all FBS players with 81 solo tackles. Incredible numbers in his career with 384 tackles, 6 interceptions, 12 sacks, and 12 pass breakups. Missed most of 2023 with an injury. Former walk-on became a team leader on and off the field. Mostly lined up as an off the ball Sam but was also in the middle. Some overhang reps as well. Instinctive initial read and react and is patient and normally precise. Inside run fits are consistently accurate. When he “sees it” can fly downhill to make plays on the line. Adept at taking open windows to get into the backfield and make a play. Exhibits ability to slip blocks on the move with quick hands. Shuffles outside staying on the back hip of the ball carrier with angles to meet the play in the alley. Shows a burst out of a shuffle when a back declares upfield. In zone coverage is adept at passing crossers and reading the quarterback. Has mirror ability to match backs out of the backfield. Gets depth in his drop with vision to balance routes in underneath zones. Quick break on the ball with hands to the catch point. Excellent blitzer with timing on the snap and a closing burst chasing. Tackling skill is virtually flawless with gather, wrap and drive. Doesn’t miss many tackles. Not the best at taking on blocks. At times takes a side and is ridden out. On straight up blocks, lacks power and can be driven back. Was a notable Combine snub as he lacks elite speed and size. He’s too productive to ignore and will get a shot.
2024 Stats: 168 T, 18.5 TFL, 6.5 sacks, 5 PBU, 4 QBH, 5 INT (1 TD). Draft projection: 5th-6th round
