Ourlads Scouting Analysis

Two year starter, Dallas, TX. First team All-SEC in 2025. Plays from a 5 technique out to a wide 9 in a two point stance. Chiseled frame with solid length. Shoots his hands at the snap creating separation on reach blocks, setting the edge against outside runs. Effective chasing to the perimeter and on the backside. Plays with a hot motor that shows in pursuit. As a pass rusher he’s quick at the snap and converts speed to power stunning a blocker with initial punch. Has loose hips to bend and flatten with a burst turning the corner. Quick hand swipes and inside counters get him free working off a block. Incredible closing speed in chase mode. Has had more penalties than ideal and needs to clean that up. Lighter than ideal frame shows against powerful blockers who can wash him out aligned in a 5 technique. Doesn’t always finish tackles. Has the upside of an elite NFL edge defender.
