6061, 280, 4.97
Notes: From Ashland, OH. Redshirted in 2014. Played in 12 of 13 games and started the final 8 at defensive end, finishing with 59 tackles, 8.5 TFL, 4 sacks, 2 PBU, 3 FR and 1 blocked kick in 2015. Played in 11 games with 10 starts at defensive end, posting 54 tackles, 6.5 TFL, 4.5 sacks, 2 PBU and 1 FF in 2016. Named game captain 6 times as a sophomore. Started all 13 games, moving inside to defensive tackle, recording 51 tackles, 7.5 TFL, 5.5 sacks, 1 PBU and 1 blocked kick in 2017.
Positives: Excellent height and length. Long arms. Good swim move and covers a lot of ground with each stride. Uses his arms well to keep blockers off him and sheds nicely to pursue. Locates the football. Gets upfield on the pass rush. Can be difficult to throw over. Versatile, can play just about anywhere along the defensive front.
Negatives: Does not have quick-twitch explosiveness or athleticism. Still needs to get stronger overall.
Summary: Coaches like defensive linemen with length, and Bee has it, so there is plenty to work with.
