Samuel Mpemba has similar size, dimensions and on-field skill set as Drake Jackson at the same stage. Both checked in at a shade under 6-foot-3, 250-260 pounds with 34-inch arms and similar athleticism as high school prospects. Like Jackson, Mpemba is a strong, developmental pass rusher who may not have the high-end production profile at the high school level as some other top EDGE prospects.
