As a College Recruit

Physically-developed two-way athlete, with the highest projected ceiling as an EDGE prospect. Played as a pass rusher and wide receiver at his initial high school prior to transferring to IMG Academy as a junior. Primarily played as a tight end/h-back at IMG during the fall of 2021. A strong athlete with dip and feel for rushing the passer. Had considerable murkiness around his ultimate position. Practicing at EDGE in the spring for IMG and looks primed to make an impact as a pass rusher. Measured at 6-foot-3.5, 240 pounds with a 6-foot-10 wing-span prior to his senior season. Tests as a solid to good athlete, clocking an electronically-timed 4.94 second 40-yard dash prior to his senior season. Would benefit greatly from a permanent move to defense as a senior, in our opinion.Practicing at EDGE in the spring and looks good there. Can continue to improve initial quickness but savvy and has natural pass rush ability.

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.
