College Statistics

Strengths

• Possesses elite length with massive hands and a 7-foot wingspan that disrupts passing lanes and engulfs ball carriers
• Generates instant pressure with explosive first step that puts offensive tackles on their heels from the snap
• Demonstrates remarkable flexibility for 285 pounds, bending around the edge like someone 30 pounds lighter would
• Violent hands at the point of attack create separation and keep blockers from latching onto his frame
• Natural anchor strength allows him to set the edge against double teams without giving ground
• Displays relentless pursuit to the football with sideline-to-sideline range that's uncommon for his size
• Shows sophisticated pass rush repertoire including swim moves, rips, and an absolutely nasty spin move
• Maintains gap integrity while rushing, rarely abandoning his assignment even when pursuing quarterback

Areas to Improve

• Injury history raises durability concerns after missing significant time in 2024 with lower leg issue
• Can disappear for stretches when facing elite tackles who get into his chest early
• Needs to develop better counter moves when initial rush gets stonewalled by patient blockers
• Motor runs hot and cold, taking occasional plays off when removed from the action
• Production doesn't always match physical tools, leaving meat on the bone too often
