Highly instinctive linebacker. Sees the game quickly and plays faster than he tests. Skilled with his ability to blitz, play the run and cover. Shows the ability to strike and finish at a high rate. Impressed with his cover skills in the camp setting. Does not have top long speed in the camp setting.
DeMario Tolan was one of two offered linebackers to work out for the Clemson staff, along with fellow blue-chipper, Jaren Kanak. Tolan, who has more of a streamline build, moved well in drills and didn’t strain or show any struggles in changing directions. He also showed some vertical explosion and ball skills in high-point drills. Those skills transferred over to coverage reps, which is really where he shined on the day. Tolan shows his blitzing and penetrating ability on high school film, but the coverage instincts and ball skills were the best we saw from the group at Clemson’s camp – pointing towards a well-rounded skill set for the Florida linebacker.
