JT Austin
About JT
Expert Analysis
Matt DeBary | Prep Redzone Scout
One of the top 2027 pass-rushers Southwest of Atlanta, Austin is an athletic defender off the edge with disruptive hands, good size at 6-foot-2 205-pounds and the ability to beat opposing tackles on his way to rushing the passer. He plays hard, consistently finds his way into the backfield, and showed last fall as a junior that he’s talented enough to play at the Power Four level. In 2025, Austin made 87 tackles with an eye-opening 27 TFLs and 16 sacks. He earned a new offer from Coastal Carolina and should continue to see his recruitment pick up over the next several weeks.
