Attacks & dislodges blocker's outside hand to open the corner. Keys backfield to bring his rush with the QB's movements.
Weaknesses: Lacks firm pop into 1st contact versus run blocks. Below-average pursuit speed chasing from the back side. Short-strider lacking burst in his upfield climb & cornering. Slow to reset secondary effort when bull rush stalls. Needs to diversify his rush tools & menu.

Combine: 4.4s 40, 41"vert, 11'1"broad

2025: 1st AP-All American, Bilentikoff Finalist, 101rec/1,278yds/13TDs
Strengths: Rapid feet turnover quickly eats CB's cushion. Instant acceleration becomes runaway speed. Turns short slants into big plays after the catch. Threatens all 3 levels of the field. Good body control with sudden, late hands on contested sideline throws.
Weaknesses: Wastes motion against press instead of winning clean. Body-catcher who loses focus over the middle. Lacks extension & hand strength to finish when contested. Fast post-catch but only average elusiveness. Needs to make quicker adjustments to capture air space on 50/50 balls.

2025: 1st All-BIG 12, 130tckls, 11TFLs, 4scks, 2PDs
Strengths: Speedy & quick to chase the action sideline-to-sideline. Bend & base strength bolster contact balance when leveraging the gap. Impressive agility & change of direction as an open-field tackler. Blitzes with excellent set-up & timing to assault the pocket.
Weaknesses: Sub-par instincts, with a tendency to lose track of play development. Pursuit angles to the perimeter are often too steep & lead to misses. Frequently eaten up by play-action that pulls him out of position. Needs better awareness & quicker response time in zone.
grade: 6.12 (Good backup with potential to develop as a starter)

Strengths: Twitchy off the snap with disruptive potential. Can beat lateral zone blocks & find his way into the backfield. Excellent awareness to recognize & chase screens. Rare speed & short-area quickness for a DL.
Weaknesses: Can't play in schemes asking him to sit down & take on blocks. Unable to withstand longer block engagement. Doesn't have enough brute strength to crank up a bull rush.
Grade: 5.98 (Average backup/special teamer)
RD 7 (220) CB Toriano Pride Jr - Missouri 5'10 3/8", 185
Combine: 4.32s 40, 37.5"vert, 10'8"broad, 13 reps

Strengths: Gets in from touch to toe with proper quickness. Hits punts with pro-caliber hang time.
Weaknesses: Hasn't proven to be a field-flipper with his leg strength. Lack of touch turns into touchbacks on short-field punts. Nose-drop technique yields inconsistent results to deaden the punt.
Grade: 5.62 (Candidate for bottom of the roster or Practice Squad)
RD 7 (241) OG Ar'maj Reed-Adams - Texas A&M 6'5 3/4", 314
Combine: 5.28s 40, 29.5"vert, 9'2"broad
2025: 2nd AP All-American
Strengths: Lands on target & immediately runs his feet to seal the block. Able to redirect his feet & slide with inside moves. Good use of his length to aid in recovery to the rush. Able to find his anchor against a bull rush.
Weaknesses: Lacks instincts & loses track of protection assignments. Jostled around by contact, limiting ability as a block finisher. Leverage on drive blocks stymied by poor pad level. Lacks range as a run-blocker to land & sustain on the move.
