Expert Analysis

AJ Paul AJ Paul 6'3" | DL North Oldham | 2026 State KY caught my attention on the camp circuit this offseason and was just as impressive when breaking down his junior year film. Paul lines up at defensive end where he is a very effective pass rusher off the edge. He explodes out of his stance and uses his speed and bend to blow by opposing offensive tackles with ease on his way to the quarterback. AJ finished his junior year with seven sacks. He has also shown the ability to cause disruption against the run, finishing last season with 56 tackles and 17 tackles for loss. Paul currently holds offers from Kentucky Wesleyan and Minot State, and I expect more to come his way this season.
