Scouting Journals for Jordan Renaud

Physical, tenacious edge setter who plays with heavy hands. A pure power player who uses his strength to bully offensive linemen. Measured at around 6-foot-3.5, 250 pounds with a 6-foot-7 wing-span prior to his senior season. Tenacious run stopper who plays the game with his hair on fire. Keeps his chest clean against the run consistently. Flashes raw power as a pass rusher with his bull rush and snatch-pull. Registers as a solid athlete with an electronically-timed 4.91 second 40-yard dash prior to his senior season. Showed the ability to knock back offensive linemen in multiple all-star settings, including the Under Armour All-American Game. Likely projects as a big defensive end in a three-man front who could eventually slide inside with added mass. Needs to improve as a pass rusher and finisher. More disruptive than productive at the high school level, totaling 12 tackles for loss and four sacks over his final two years of high school football.

Jordan Renaud flashed considerable power in 1-on-1’s at Future 50. He showed the strongest punch of every defensive lineman or EDGE on hand. The Tyler (Texas) Legacy product stunned opposing offensive linemen on contact with his hand strength. We saw Renaud rock back the big-bodied linemen on essentially every rep, despite being around 100 pounds lighter than each. Renaud could play anywhere from 5 to 3 technique at the college level pending his physical development and looks to have some dominant qualities as a run defender.
