Las Vegas Bowl Boise State vs Washington: Top 2020 NFL Draft prospects
By Evan Bachman
Nick Harris, C, Washington
Nick Harris, who was named first-team All-Pac 12 last week, has been excellent for the Huskies this year in both pass protection and run blocking.
He is a good athlete for a 300 pounder and he shows this on film where he consistently gets to the second level in run blocking. In pass protection, he is consistent and has good technique. He’s always on his toes, he uses his hands first before his body, and he keeps his head up on impact. One thing that could hold him back a little at the next level is his lack of strength as he sometimes loses leverage battles in the trenches.
Harris should be in the day two conversation and will look to prove that’s where he belongs against a respected Boise State defense.
Levi Onwuzurike, DT, Washington
Levi Onwuzurike has recorded 41 tackles and 5 tackles for loss this season was also named first-team All-Pac 12 last week.
Onwuzurike, who likely will play primarily on the inside in the NFL, has shown the versatility to play all around the defensive line at Washington. While he’s not elite at anything, he has shown he’s capable of winning pass rush situations with his quickness or his strength. He draws double teams in the run game, so that limits how many plays he can make, but he’s still good against the run.
While nothing about his game really pops off the screen he still has enough traits to work with to make him a potential day two value pick.
