One-year starter. Third-team All America and second-team All-Big 10 this past season. Aligns on the edge and bumps inside on high-percentage passing packages. Bulked-up muscular frame with shorter arms. Quick first step and reaction time on the snap. Strong hands on contact to control blockers immediately. Sets a hard edge giving up very little room using a sturdy anchor. Walks linemen back into running lanes to stuff gaps. Strength at the point-of-attack helps him extend and shuck linemen into the dirt in one fluid motion. Gets low and hammers pullers utilizing lower-body strength stopping them in their tracks. Excellent in one-gap schemes; fires into lanes with considerable upper body strength to push off linemen's backs and chase down runners. Explodes inside when the running back commits and meets them on the interior to bring them down. Continuing his development as a pass rusher; 11 sacks in 2025. Wins with power to defeat tackles and get to the quarterback. Flings around like a battering ram on the interior, and highlights a quick arm-over to get around blockers in pass protection. Counters with a solid spin move using his ice pick to propel himself towards the signal caller. Violent tackler; makes quarterbacks feel his presence with punishing hits. Gets hands in the air when he stalls out. Never quits on the rush until something works. Fringe explosiveness upfield. Lacking agility and struggles to change direction with noticeable hip tightness. Tight hips and lack of power on bullrushes causes problems generating pressure in pass rush; gets stuck to tackles often. Does not generate a ton of push on his bullrush. Cannot win with bend on the edge limiting his speed rush.
2025 Stats: 66 T, 16.5 TFL, 11 sacks, 2 PBU, 8 QBH, 1 FF, 1 BK. Draft projection: 4th/5th round
