Three-year starter who is flexible, athletic, and versatile enough to play any position across any defensive front. Nose tackle in the 3-4 would be an emergency position only. Explosive first step quickness. Plays best in predetermined stunt packages rather than base read and react. Sudden when penetrating a gap, running line stunts, and twists. Question instincts. When he sees the ball he gets there. Long arms and big hands. Presses the pocket with inside pressure and push. Hit and spin move. Can stop and stack at the point. Gets tied up at times but will shed and burst to the ball in a short area. Can cross faces and find the ball. Has some two gap ability. Plays with a power base and knee bend. Good lateral agility to go parallel to line of scrimmage, down the line, and make a play. Demonstrated good hustle in the Ohio State game playing his option assignment. Sudden through gaps on slant and angle moves. Has the talent to contribute early in his career. For complete report see Ourlads Guide to the NFL Draft.
