Elite / Top 100

Twitched up interior defensive line prospect whose burst and get off pop off the screen. High motor player who constantly chases from the backside, always around the football. Strong at the point of attack, excellent job of striking blockers first and being able to disengage. Has one of the more sought-after body types when it comes to defensive linemen. Stands in at 6-foot-4, 270 pounds with a 6-foot-9 wingspan. Plays with relatively high pad level, one of the easier things to fix at the collegiate level. Has some hip stiffness, can struggle a bit when working in space. Ideal fit would be as a 3-technique in a 4-3 front or 4i-technique in a 3-4 front. High upside prospect whose best ball is in front of him. Has a chance to explode into a dominant player at the next level as he physically develops. One of the younger prospects in the 2023 recruiting cycle.
