John Michael Schmitz Scouting Report
Schmitz has a firm anchor when he plants his feet that prevents rushers from knocking him back into the quarterback’s lap. He has an innate ability to use combo blocks in gap running schemes to create free lanes for the ball carrier. Schmitz has excellent speed for his position as well as a good change-of-direction ability that allows him to climb to the second level of the defense and block the free running linebackers.
Quentin Johnston Scouting Report
Johnston is able to use his speed while still being a precise and deliberate route runner. He is not just going through the motions with his routes, he takes every step as if he knows he is getting the ball. The big body receiver also has over the top speed and consistently burned secondaries deep down the field. Not to mention, when he gets down the field, he has made some incredible high-difficulty catches on 50/50 balls.
Noah Sewell Scouting Report
Noah Sewell is an extremely versatile linebacker who has been a starting MIKE Linebacker since he stepped foot on campus as a freshman. Sewell plays with an undeniably high motor that simply cannot be replicated. He is a willing tackler and an aggressive finisher. Sewell is the leader of the defense and doesn’t have any scheme weaknesses.
Lukas Van Ness Scouting Report
Van Ness is able to make offensive linemen vulnerable and knock them off balance with his push-pull technique that he uses frequently to get through to the backfield. Van Ness put up some of his best reps against the top linemen in the country, proving that he can hold his own against the highest level of competition. When in a 3-point stance, Van Ness can generate power from his lower half once he engages with linemen at the line of scrimmage
Matthew Bergeron Scouting Report
Bergeron controls and moves his weight well. He has a strong lower half that he uses as an anchor when planting his feet in the dirt to absorb power rushes. Bergeron is most effective in the run game where he is able to get to his assignment and execute his blocks. He does well in diagnosing different types of blitz packages and stunts at the line of scrimmage.
Will Levis Scouting Report
Will Levis is incredibly gifted when it comes to raw athleticism. He has the best arm in the class and has the ability to make any throw look effortless. He is also a threat with his legs despite what his 2022 rushing stats say. Turn on the tape and you will see a QB who may not have Lamar Jackson or Justin Fields speed, but he is able to move his body and use his legs to stretch defenses.
Tuli Tuipulotu Scouting Report
Tuli does a good job on stunts to be able to attack the A and B gaps and find a weak spot in the line. He has an extremely powerful lower half and keeps his feet moving and legs churning at all times. When Tuipulotu gets to the ball carrier, he does an excellent job in wrapping him up and bringing him to the ground. He is a secure and confident tackler who does not let runners slip from his grasp.
Jordan Battle Scouting Report
Jordan Battle is a solid, well-built safety that often plays in the one high, roaming strong safety role. He has had success ever since he stepped foot in Tuscaloosa receiving numerous All American nominations throughout his career. His dense and muscular build projects him to fit in nicely as a strong safety who can line up in a variety of different schemes and packages at the next level.
Jalin Hyatt Scouting Report
Finishing the season with 67 receptions and 1267 yards, he won the Fred Biletnikoff Award as the nation’s top wide receiver. Hyatt was used all over the field and was heavily involved in pre-snap motion in Tennessee’s offense. Hyatt is a legitimate threat in all areas of the field but especially 20+ yards downfield. Hyatt is able to consistently gain at least 3 strides of separation and give his quarterback an easy decision to make.
Darnell Washington Scouting Report
His hands are extremely powerful once they make contact with the defender and he rarely requires help on a blocking assignment. While he does line up in the slot on occasion, Washington should be thought of as an extra lineman on every down who is also eligible to run a route down field.
Nolan Smith Scouting Report
Nolan Smith, undoubtedly, has the highest motor in the draft. He plays with an intensity that is simply one of one. He never takes a play off, never slows down, and refuses to be stopped at the initial point of attack. He has become a natural leader for not only the Georgia defense, but the entire Georgia team and community. While the season-ending injury to his pectoral muscle that derailed Smith’s 2022 campaign was unfortunate, he has handled it with a great deal of maturity and has been supportive on the sideline everyday for his teammates.
Andrew Vorhees Scouting Report
Vorhees is a 5th year senior who had to redshirt in 2019 due to an ankle injury suffered in the second week of the season. Throughout his years at USC, Vorhees has gotten significant reps at every position on the line except for Center. He is at his best at either guard spot, more so the left side, but he can also play either tackle spot if there are any last minute injuries that cause a shuffling of the line.
Anthony Richardson Scouting Report
Anthony Richardson is a polarizing prospect due to his huge arm and ability to make anything happen with his legs. He gives defenders a million different things to worry about every single play. The task for him now is to put it all together on a consistent basis.
Dawand Jones Scouting Report
Dawand Jones is a huge player that uses all of his size to his advantage. Being a mountain of a man, it is extremely hard to get Jones off balance once his feet are set. He and Paris Johnson Jr. created quite the dominant pair on that Ohio State offensive line.
Derick Hall Scouting Report
Derick Hall is a raw prospect who has plenty of potential that has yet to be unlock. All of the physical tools are there for Hall, it is about developing them and utilizing them on a consistent basis. He is a strong stand-up edge rusher that uses strength to get through to the backfield.
Trenton Simpson Scouting Report
Trenton Simpson is a swiss army knife on defense and can be used in a variety of different roles in a variety of different packages. He has great length that he pairs with elite athleticism that allows for him to float all over the defense and man a variety of different roles.
Myles Murphy Scouting Report
Myles Murphy has been at the top of big boards since the beginning of the season. With a big frame and strong profile, he is a force on the edge. Murphy may need some time to develop, but if he goes to the right situation he can succeed right away.
Brian Branch Scouting Report
Brian Branch was a part of a great safety tandem in Tuscaloosa where he took on a variety of different roles. Brian Branch is an aggressive run defender and physical in coverage. He has all of the abilities to play either safety or nickel.
Kelee Ringo Scouting Report
Kelee Ringo was a consensus top 10 pick in the draft coming into the season. However, despite a solid 2022 campaign, some questions have been raised about RIngo’s game and how it will translate to the next level. If he can improve on his splash plays and ball production, he will be the most effective cornerback in this class.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba Scouting Report
Jaxon Smith-Njigba had one of the greatest seasons that we have ever seen from a wide receiever at a collegiate level in 2021. He set all kinds of records and was CJ Stroud’s favorite weapons. The questions about him mainly come from him missing most of 2022 with a lingering injury.
