Summary
DeMonte Capehart spent six seasons at Clemson and logged just 895 defensive snaps. He has good size and length and likely projects as a 2i or 0-technique defensive tackle at the next level. The lack of production over the past few seasons is concerning, but the tape shows flashes of a player who could earn a late-round look or, more likely, a priority free-agent opportunity.
About
- Career: 72 tackles, 13.5 TFL, 3.0 sacks
- 2022-24: Three-time All-ACC Academic Team
Strengths
- Flashes dominant run-stuffing ability in limited sample sizes.
- Excellent power, size and arm length.
- Shows the ability to collapse the pocket with power at times.
Weaknesses
- Lacks a developed pass-rush plan despite his natural power.
- Can be late off the ball, and his length and power are compromised when he plays with high pad level.
- Limited production despite playing alongside a talented defensive front over the past two seasons is concerning.
Combine Data
- 40-yard dash: 4.85 seconds
- Vertical jump: 33.5 inches

Buccaneers' DeMonte Capehart: Nabbed by Buccaneers
The Buccaneers selected Capehart in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 155th overall.
Capehart boasts an ample frame (6-foot-5, 313 pounds) and played 1-technique at Clemson, so there is some potential here for Capehart to develop, but he wasn't a full-time starter in college. The Bucs are taking a lottery ticket on a guy with plenty of potential. However, after racking up 21 tackles and 3.0 sacks as a senior, Capehart will likely require some development.
