Scouting Journals for PJ Dean

Explosive jumbo athlete with blue-chip ability on either line of scrimmage. Measured at over 6-foot-3, 255 pounds, good length, and huge hands that measure over 10.5 inches. Cut over 50 pounds from his junior to senior year. Was considered an offensive line prospect until the offseason prior to his senior season. A super explosive straight-line athlete who runs extremely well in the combine setting. First-step quickness is readily evident in limited film on the defensive line. Has the strength in his hands to handle offensive linemen at the point of attack. Has limited experience on the defensive line, leading to murkiness in his evaluation and projection. How he takes to the position as a senior will be telling. After the weight cut, he may be more of a 5-technique at the next level. Younger brother of former Georgia center and 3rd round pick Jared Wilson. Young for the cycle, turning 17 years old in late June before his senior season.
