I was able tos ee a few of Bigelo’s reps. The best one may be where he recognizes the wheel route, stays in phase with the back, and beats him to the spot (causing an incompletion). There’s another rep where the back runs a 5-yard out. He doesn’t get the jam, but he still mirrors the break nicely. Also showed active hands by batting down the underthrown pass. Showed the speed to stay in base downfield with the backs he faced.
Solid height and frame. Good athletic ability displaying very good explosiveness, good acceleration, hip fluidity, flexibility, lateral movement, balance, foot quickness, solid foot speed, and change of direction. Can align as a stacked LB or as an EDGE defender. Very good speed pass rush from stacked and edge alignments, with good acceleration, gaining leverage with his speed and showing good hip fluidity, bend, and shoulder dip around offensive linemen. Good closing speed on the QB that puts pressure on him, putting his hands up to swat the ball if he can’t hit the QB, and good grip strength to grab and bring the QB down for the sack. Good range from the stacked LB position on outside runs to minimize yardage gained. Good gap integrity on inside runs, with good block shed using his quickness and hand usage. Good strength and explosiveness in his tackles that allow him to drive through ball carriers. Good Zone processing in pass coverage, understanding where he should be and reading the QB’s eyes to be in position. Overall, a good linebacker prospect who wins with speed and quickness over strength and power. I like him as a speed-rush edge defender, but he has the versatility to play in a stacked position allowing him to be a three-down backer.
Jayce can play as an off-ball Linebacker or on the EDGE. He displays good processing of schemes and reaction to plays to be in a position to make a stop. Displays very good balance when engaging blocks from larger offensive linemen with good use of hands to shed the block with good tackling ability. Displays solid range to cover from hash to sideline. Good Zone coverage processing, understanding where to be to disrupt the play, and can force interceptions.
