About

2025: First-team All-ACC
2023-25: Fourth-most pressures (54) and tackles (85) by ACC DT

Strengths

Explosive and sudden inside, with strong awareness when shedding blocks and diagnosing blocking schemes.
Quick get-off as a pass rusher who can win with speed or power and shows the ability to swipe hands.
Powerful, explosive hands to anchor primary gaps against double teams, with the lateral agility to stunt and move across the front.
Durability and skill set to stay on the field for all three downs.

Weaknesses

Lacks the ideal arm length scouts covet, though he compensates with get-off and power.
Has not been a consistently dominant force and disappeared for stretches in 2025.
Wins frequently as a pass rusher through movement and games rather than consistently dominating one-on-one matchups.
