As a Recruit
The top pass rushing prospect in the 2023 cycle, with advanced size, power, athleticism and technical ability. Shows high-end explosion and finishing ability behind the line of scrimmage. Has a big frame at around 6-foot-5, 245 pounds with good length (33 7/8 inch arms). Touts a strong first step, bursting off the ball and uses his length to create disruption off the edge. A technical, patient rusher who added moves throughout his high school career. Developed a spin move to go with quick hands as a senior. Displays strong closing speed and finishes plays behind the line of scrimmage at a high rate. Among the more productive pass rushers in the nation as a junior and senior, totaling 32.5 sacks over his final two seasons. Most comfortable rushing out of a two-point stance at this point. A violent finisher who delivers massive hits on opposing quarterbacks. Has the frame and play strength to develop into a plus run defender. Quickly generates momentum and converts speed to power as a pass rusher. Will need to continue improving his bend and flexibility as he's more of a straight line rusher. Also a bouncy athlete with a basketball background. Capped of his high school career with an MVP performance throughout the week at the All-American Bowl.
