Dylan Stewart

Dylan Stewart defines the modern EDGE prototype: elite length, contortionist bend, and a first step that threatens the corner on every snap. His All-Pro potential hinges on converting athletic gifts into a technical, cal

Damon Wilson II

A former five-star who needed a transfer to get the snaps: nine sacks and 9.5 tackles for loss at Missouri in 2025, and now he has to prove at Miami that the get-off works when a tackle takes it away.

A 6-3, 253-pound Alabama edge who led the Crimson Tide with eight sacks and 12 tackles for loss in 15 games in 2025, adding 42 tackles and three forced fumbles before returning for 2026. Elite get-off and run discipline,

Matayo Uiagalelei

A 6-6, 273-pound Arkansas defensive lineman who posted 44 tackles, a team-leading 15.5 tackles for loss and eight sacks in 12 games in 2025, earning second-team All-SEC. Rare length and disruption from multiple alignment

Teitum Tuioti

A 6-3, 263-pound outside linebacker who started all 15 games for Oregon in 2025 and owns 150 career tackles, 27.5 tackles for loss and 17 sacks. A dense, powerful edge setter whose production has always outrun his hype.

John Henry Daley

He had 17.5 tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks at Utah in 2025, tore his Achilles at the end of it, and followed Kyle Whittingham to Michigan to prove the breakout was real.

Three seasons of Big Ten tape say the same thing about Saka: the first step is a weapon and the role was never big enough to prove what else he has. He put up 12 career sacks and 14 tackles for loss across 33 Northwester

A junior-college find who turned into one of the Sun Belt's most productive edge rushers, Alexander wins with first-step quickness and a relentless motor off the edge.
