Cody Mauch Scouting Report
Mauch is great in gap-creating blocking assignments in which he needs to clear a lane for the ball carrier to run through. He does well to use the defender’s momentum against him and shift the defender to the side and take him away from the ball and out of the play. Cody Mauch is an extremely experienced player, being redshirted in 2017 and then began his playing career with the Bisons in 2018.
Zacch Pickens Scouting Report
Zacch Pickens has been the main man on the interior of the Gamecocks’ defensive line since he was a freshman. Pickens is able to go from a traditional nose tackle all the way to occasionally playing the 5-tech on the edge. Zacch Pickens has been a consistent and productive player for South Carolina. He is very strong, 1-on-1 matchups are rarely effective with Pickens as his violent hands and strong base sheds blockers with ease.
Sean Tucker Scouting Report
When Tucker is on the field, defenses absolutely have to be on their toes, at any moment he can take the ball and score from anywhere on the field. He is a dynamic athlete that can provide track speed on the football field.
BJ Ojulari Scouting Report
BJ Ojulari has a high motor on the edge and he plays through the whistle on every snap. Oftentimes, he uses better pad level than his offensive line counterpart and uses his leverage to slip right by them. Ojulari can also hold his own in coverage. He does a nice job of taking away the flats and taking good angles to the receiver to avoid any yards after the catch.
Tyrique Stevenson Scouting Report
He is a violent and aggressive football player who simply loves to hit people and make them uncomfortable. The boundary is his domain and he has an uncoachable demeanor with which he carries himself. Press coverage is where Stevenson excels, his physicality and unmatched athleticism make it hard for any receiver to either get out of a jam on the line of scrimmage or create any type of separation against him.
Garrett Williams Scouting Report
Williams played a mix of soft zone and press man coverage at Syracuse. He is extremely physical and has “that dog in him” and was even the captain of the Syracuse defense. He is a willing tackler and does well to wrap up the ball carrier.
Zach Evans Scouting Report
Zach Evans displays an effort to fight for every single yard when the ball is in his hands. It takes more than one man to be able to bring him down and when he is brought down, he does a good job of falling forward. Evans is able to run in both a zone and gap running scheme.
Tucker Kraft Scouting Report
Kraft is a reliable weapon in all areas of the field. He can take a short yardage pass in the flats and turn up field to gain yards, but he can also be a dynamic downfield weapon that can either find soft spots in coverage to sit in, or he can come down with those contested catches to bail his offense out. In terms of the receiving aspect of his game, there are really no major concerns with Kraft’s game.
Calijah Kancey Scouting Report
Calijah Kancey provides versatility along the line that Pittsburgh has utilized to line him up anywhere from 1-tech to the edge. While he is not as big as the average interior defensive linemen, his physical and aggressive style of play serves him well at the line where he can use leverage and speed to beat slower footed opponents.
Ronnie Bell Scouting Report
Ronnie Bell was a player who made an instant impact on the Wolverines’ offense. As a freshman, he appeared in all 13 games at wide receiver and also was a large contributor to the special teams units. By his sophomore season, Bell was earning the team’s Offensive MVP award and was officially the X- Factor on that offense. Aside from a 2021 season in which Bell suffered a torn ACL, he has been the leading receiver for Michigan and has flashed in bunches.
Andre Carter II Scouting Report
Carter has a quick first step that allows him to charge into the chest of offensive linemen with power and momentum. Carter does not often let linemen get comfortable in the phone booth. His frame and length keeps offensive linemen off balance and does not allow them to set up their anchor and get settled.
Jammie Robinson Scouting Report
Robinson offers positional versatility as a player that can play either safety position, while also floating inside or just around the box. Robinson flashes pass rushing skills off of the edge in certain blitz packages. He plays with a faster and more aggressive pace than his straight line test speed might suggest. He has a high motor with a competitive nature.
Henry To’o To’o Scouting Report
I would consider To’o To’o to be a disrupter both as a run defender as well as in pass coverage. He is able to somehow close in on the receiver to force incompletions or prevent any yards after the catch. As a smaller linebacker, he takes advantage of that frame as he has great agility, lateral quickness, and can change directions on a dime.
Tyler Scott Scouting Report
Scott consistently finds a way to locate the football and haul it in with smooth process. Scott combines his elite speed with a type of elusiveness that makes him a matchup nightmare for literally any cornerback. Football is a game of functionality and fully utilizing physical abilities such as speed or strength in a functional way that will benefit the player and his team.
Israel Abanikanda Scouting Report
Abanikanda is fast, plain and simple, the guy can scoot. He is elusive and has a quick acceleration that allows him to accelerate to full speed in a fraction of a second from the mesh point. He may be fast, but he does not sacrifice size. Abanikanda is a dense and strong runner. He can use both speed and physicality to defeat defenses on a weekly basis.
Steve Avila Scouting Report
Avila is a versatile lineman; he has seen numerous starts at every position along the line with the exception of left tackle. As a Senior, he received numerous All-American honors from different outlets. The first thing that stands out about Avila when you turn on his tape is his overall size. He is a large human being, and he plays like it. His size comes with natural strength that he is able to use in a functional way.
Tyjae Spears Scouting Report
It is rare that you will see Spears get tackled at or behind the line of scrimmage. He has a slippery elusiveness to him that pairs well with his strength to make it near impossible for him to be brought down on first contact. Spears does well to read gaps and openings without taking too much time to split gaps and accelerate.
Sydney Brown Scouting Report
Brown shows his track background on full display when he is patrolling the back end of the defense. The safety also uses his athleticism in an effective way. He is productive and does not waste his athletic ability, giving great effort and energy on every snap. He has an innate ability to close in on the ball no matter where he was originally positioned on the field.
Marvin Mims Scouting Report
Mims is a threat at all levels of the field, using his speed to burn secondaries down the field. On contested catches, Mims does well to high point the football and has late hands to make the catch as easy as possible for himself. It isn’t ideal to put Mims in situations to have to make contested catches, but he does well for himself in those situations.
Joe Tippmann Scouting Report
Tippmann has a high motor and keeps his feet moving once he is engaged with rushers. He does a good job on stunts and twists and is able to shift directions quite well. He leads the offensive line when pulling to the right or left in order to create gaps for the running back to run through. Joe Tippmann also has versatility upside to shift all over the offensive line. There are no concerns about him being able to play both the right guard and the left guard spots.
