Easy to see why as he is an impact player going both forward and backwards.  What we love about Igwebuike is his ability to cover as well as any linebacker in the state in space along with being a ferocious run stuffer that flies to the ball sideline to sideline.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

along with his first step off the snap.  Has the bend around the tackle that you look for in young pass rushers along with powerful use of his hands.  Edge rushers are such a big time need at the P4 level and Demoss is the best one left on the board in Illinois.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block
