Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 79.97 (Chance to start)

Pro Comparison: Devin Taylor

Accolades:

  • 2022: First-team All-Big Ten
  • 2022: Team-high 14% pressure percentage (minimum 200 pass rushes)

Summary:

Zach Harrison is a lengthy, uniquely sized EDGE who utilizes his long reach to his advantage. He has some speed-to-power conversion but needs to get stronger overall, and he won't be able to threaten athletic OTs with sudden footwork or change-of-direction skill. His stature and hustle should make him a hot commodity in the middle of the draft as a pass-rush specialist.

Strengths:

  • Tall and thick with long limbs
  • Decently bendy for his size
  • Can generate some blocker-moving torque when he uses his length to his advantage
  • Works hard in the run game

Weaknesses:

  • Average get-off and dip around the corner
  • Twitch and change-of-direction ability aren't really there
  • Could stand to get more initial, point-of-attack power

Combine Results:

  • Bench Press: 25 reps
