Reminds Us Of

Preston Smith
Preston Smith
EDGE / 6-5 / 271
Mississippi State · HS Class of 2011
2015 Draft · Rnd 2 · Pick 38

Dani Dennis-Sutton is a little more developed than Preston Smith coming out of Stephenson (Ga.) Stone Mountain in the 2011 cycle. We still ultimately see Dennis-Sutton becoming a similar style player to Smith as a big, powerful defensive end with plus athleticism. Dennis-Sutton is around 6-foot-5, 250 pounds and has the room to continue adding mass once he’s in Penn State’s strength program. Smith was around 6-foot-5, 271 pounds at the NFL Combine after four years at Mississippi State.

Dani Dennis-Sutton

Scouted byCharles Power

We didn’t get to see Dani Dennis-Sutton take quite as many reps as Mykel Williams or Marvin Jones Jr. over the course of the All-American Bowl week, but the Penn State commit impressed on snap-by-snap basis. Dennis-Sutton had an outstanding showing in 1-on-1’s on the first practice. He followed that up by being disruptive in Saturday’s game. He easily beat Ohio State signee George Fitzpatrick for a big sack in the first half. We also saw Dennis-Sutton show off some explosive strength in setting the edge. The future Nittany Lion is a high energy prospect with impressive speed-to-power.
