"He waited three years behind a rotation that kept sending him back to the bench, then got his first career start at Vanderbilt as a fourth-year player and never gave the job back."
A 6-5, 303-pound Kentucky defensive lineman whose first real season came in year four: 11 games, 28 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and three quarterback hurries, with one start. Long-levered and dense enough to play up and down an even front, but he is a late bloomer whose body of evidence is a single partial season.
What he does well
- 01Functional length — At 6-5 with long arms he lands his hands first on most reps, and that early fit is what lets him control a tackle before the blocker can get into his frame.
- 02Long-arm strike — His one developed pass-rush move is a real one; the extension stalls a tackle's set and creates the push that produced 2.5 sacks in a part-time role.
