About Gregory
Expert Analysis
Matt Morrow | Prep Redzone Scout
Gregory is a big, strong run-stuffing defensive tackle who is an anchor for the Red Raiders at the line of scrimmage. When you take a look at his film, the first two plays show him using his strength to prevent offensive linemen from getting movement in the running game, and then he’s able to use his hands to play off the block and get tackles in the middle of the line of scrimmage where the play is being run. Gregory also shows a good get-off at the snap, which allows him to get into the gap immediately and slow the run down. Gregory also does a good job of closing down gaps when guards release inside to the 2nd level, and clogs up the interior run game. I also like his burst in short spaces. His pass rush is pretty much limited to bull rushing at this point, but it is effective because he’s a really strong young man.

Blair is a powerful run-stuffer who occasionally moves outside over the tackle to stretch the offense. There’s some untapped pass-rushing potential as he repeatedly hurried quarterbacks, even if the sack numbers aren’t there yet. He’s probably not a 10-sack interior defender, but he’s capable of displacing offensive linemen and disrupting the timing of pass concepts with quick interior pressure.
