Nwude is one of the more sought after defensive prospects on the western region in the 2026 class, and already holds offers from Florida, Fresno State, SDSU, Tulane and Western Kentucky. Off the ball, he has a quick first step, natural bend off the edge and can dip under blockers while showing a strong strike and quick block recognition in the run game while able to set the edge and play violent with his hands. A truly natural edge rusher that will only bulk up and add mass to his frame, he checks in inside our top 15 rankings at the loaded defensive line position across California and is poised for a huge Junior season.
