In a much needed commitment for the good guys, the No. 15 Strong-Side Defensive End chose Stanford. Leading up to the decision, 247 overwhelmingly predicted USC. However, sources say a last change of heart prompted the New Jerseyan to select the Cardinal.
247 composite ranks him as the no. 198 player in the class of 2021, the no. 15 strong side defensive end, and the third best player in New Jersey.
247 compares him favorably to Minnesota Vikings Defense End Danielle Hunter. “Plus length with good shoulder width to add size, strength. Carries 242 pounds like it is 220. Position flexibility as defensive end/3-technique ability. Agile with 4.43 short shuttle. Strong with hands. Athletic with burst. Stop-start ability. Flexibility and body control to manipulate body to get through gaps. Strong lower body. Runs down line of scrimmage and pursues backside. Has to develop technique. Relies on speed and power.”
