Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 76.20 (Chance to start)

Pro Comparison: Larrell Murchison

Strengths:

Played primarily as a 3 technique for the Vols, with the ability to play on the edge as well. Had five sacks and 23 hurries in 2021, in part because of his non-stop motor and good hand usage at the snap. Often played much bigger than his 297-pound frame. 

Weaknesses:

Sometimes gets taken for a ride in the run game when he doesn't stay low, and he'll struggle to disengage and get off blocks. Can disappear for stretches and ends up on the ground a lot, where he's helpless to make a play on the ball.

Accolades:

  • 2021: 726 snaps on the year, most among SEC players
  • 2021: Set career highs in tackles (47), TFL (8.5) and sacks (5.0)
