6026, 308, 5.18
Notes: From Sarasota, FL. Appeared in 2 games before injuries sidelined him and redshirted in 2014. Backup defensive tackle, playing in all 13 games, in 2015. Started all 13 games at defensive tackle, finished with 21 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 5 PBU and 1 FR in 2016. Started all 13 games, recording 36 tackles, 4.5 TFL, 1 sack and 4 PBU in 2017. Returned for senior season and is expected to earn his degree.
Positives: Quick, strong and athletic. Comes off the ball well and can penetrate and disrupt. Able to out-quick and shed blockers. Gets some upfield push on the pass rush. Has been durable and productive.
Negatives: No truly outstanding characteristic. Lacks great upfield speed as a pass rusher. Can improve his technique.
Summary: Solid all-round prospect. Maybe not a superstar, but has the tools to be a good player at the next level.
