Like Reggie Ragland, Grayson Howard is a big, high effort and heady inside linebacker who is best as a high volume tackling run defender.

Elite / Top 100

Tackle machine at linebacker who has a knack for bringing down ball carriers all over the field. Totaled 157 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks as well as 2 interceptions his junior season. Has continued adding size heading into his senior season. Looks like a college-ready player now, measuring at over 6-foot-3.5 and around 220 pounds. Instinctive player that scans the field as quickly as anyone in the country. A true off-ball linebacker that can sink into zone coverage, play man against the slot or back, stuff the run and get to the quarterback as a free blitzer. May not be a top tier athlete at the position but plays fast due to his instincts. High floor prospect who could produce early on in his career at the next level.
