Juarez is a versatile defender that brings a ton to the table and could be a outside linebacker at the college level and offers a diverse skillset. He is a rangy and athletic prospect that covers well downfield, triggers fast into the flats and is a excellent open field tackler and violent hitter that comes downhill and shows the ability to rush the passer off the edge. He flashes he can get off blocks and set the edge and takes good angles into the backfield when knifing downhill and read/reacts quickly on the perimeter. He is a high IQ guy that processes quickly and sniffs out plays underneath and has a already strong and long build for the position. Look for him to have a monster Junior season and continue to rise up radars through his Junior year.
