Summary
Skyler Gill-Howard is a relentless defensive lineman who has climbed from the Division II level to a starting role in the Big 12. Despite being undersized for the interior, he plays with incredible energy and leverages his wrestling background to overpower larger blockers. A former walk-on turned team leader, he combines violent hand technique with sideline-to-sideline speed to disrupt both the run and the pass.
About
- Career: Transitioned from LB to DT at NIU
- Career: Began at Division II Upper Iowa (2021); Northern Illinois (2022–24)
Strengths
- Explosive first step with an array of pass-rush moves.
- Elite hand violence and strength to shed interior blockers quickly.
- High-motor athlete with sideline-to-sideline range.
Weaknesses
- Lacks prototypical height and weight for an interior defender.
- Coming off a significant, season-ending ankle injury that required surgery.
- Can struggle with consistency in high-volume snap counts due to size.
Combine Data
