Marshall | Hometown: Williamsburg, VA | HT: 6031 | WT: 251 | 40 time: N/A | Hand: 0812 | Arm: 3238 | Wing: 7734
Junior entry, one year starter. First team All-Sun Belt Conference, consensus All-American and Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year in 2024. Transfer from Virginia in 2023. Tall with a slender frame and quick twitch reactions. Was a wide receiver recruit at Virginia initially before switching to linebacker. He put on quality weight and moved to the edge while at Virginia. Had an incredibly productive 2024 season with 17 sacks. Played anywhere from a wide nine down to a four technique exclusively in a two point stance. Excellent football IQ he has a solid pass rush arsenal for a young player. A game wrecker, he was regularly chipped and double teamed on pass plays. Above average snap quickness but his speed, bend, and flex around the arc are elite. He’s explosive coming out of his stance. Speed to power in pass rush is impressive with low pad level to drive linemen into the backfield. His pass rush repertoire includes a bull rush into a move, arm over and under, spin, hand swipes, and cross chop. Flashes an out to in move to counter oversets. Fluid hips with seamless change of direction. Adjusts to the quarterback moving in the pocket and chases with a closing burst. Physical at the point of attack versus a tight end using strong hands to stun and separate from blocks. Excellent lateral movement to flatten, sift inside and make plays on cutbacks and along the line of scrimmage. Relentless effort he chases across the field catching plays from behind. Attacks and spills against pullers. Has been effective on inside stunts. As an outside linebacker has limited cover experience. Lacks the functional strength to set the edge against tackles. When squared up, it gets uprooted and widened creating a running lane. Has missed tackles leaving his feet. Despite deficiencies playing the run, elite pass rush tools are coveted.
2024 Stats: 84 T, 22.5 TFL, 17 sacks, 2 PBU, 15 QBH, 3 FF. BP-28. Draft projection: 1st/2nd round
