Kolaj Cobbins is active off the edge vs. East St. John

Sam Spiegelman•National Recruiting Analyst

On3 Consensus top-200 EDGE Kolaj Cobbins brings rare speed to the outside linebacker position. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Cobbins is a freight train patrolling to the sideline against outside runs and is equally as persistent in applying pressure to the quarterback. Cobbins came away unofficially with a pair of sacks and even more pressures on the quarterback while also keeping him contained as a runner outside the pocket. Cobbins is still developing as a pass-rusher but is as talented and intriguing with his combination of size, speed and most importantly, his motor. He’s also excellent at defending the run as there is in the South.

Sam Spiegelman•National Recruiting Analyst

On300 junior EDGE Kolaj Cobbins came away with a pair of sacks facing a run-heavy Marrero (La.) John Ehret offense without its starting quarterback. Cobbins fires off the ball and has excellent speed to take away outside runs and patrol the perimeter, not to mention his closing speed. His first-step quickness resulted in a handful of quarterback hits and the pressure alone was noteworthy. Cobbins plays with a different gear with length and has all the tools to be a prolific disrupter off the edge against the run and as a pass-rusher
