Draft Prospect Outlook:
Intimidating presence at around 6-6, 270 pounds with tentacles for arms. Mostly slow-footed when attacking and doesn't possess pass-rushing moves yet has snaps when he fires off the ball with ridiculous speed to the quarterback. Intriguing prospect.
College Recap:

Aruna couldn't match his junior year in 2017 from a statistical standpoint, though he did have sacks in two of his first three games. However, he wouldn't have a tackle for loss over the remainder of the season, finishing with 25 total tackles (three for loss), two sacks, two pass break-ups and a fumble recovery. -- R.J. White
