Scouting Report/Player Notes (2012 season)
Entering his second season as a starting defensive tackle for the Tigers, after a year in which he totalled 51 tackles, five tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks. Good quickness and really good length. Phenomenal athletic ability and bulked up to 292 pounds as a sophomore. Has the ability to be dominant in both a 3-4 and 4-3 defensive scheme, but he really has the ideal size as a five technique in a 3-4 defense. Top notch pass rushing ability but still developing in terms of his ability as a run defender. Should be one of the combine “freaks” whenever he decides to come out, whether it’s this year or next year. Should be one of the top defensive tackles when he enters the draft.
