Weinzetl had a great season, coming in seventh in the junior class 3A group with 6.0 sacks, 57.0 total tackles, and 16.5 tackles for a loss. If there’s one thing to highlight from his film, it’s his versatility and athleticism. He’ll line up on either side of the line of scrimmage with his hand in the dirt or from a two-point stance. His first step is wicked and explosive, timing the snap and causing havoc in the backfield. Weinzetl is an extremely powerful hitter with a ton of pop in his pads. He has a wide tackle radius, which makes it tough for quarterbacks and ball carriers to avoid him. Weinzetl uses his speed and athleticism to get around the hip of the tackle and flatten to the quarterback. He’s smart enough to get his arms up and hands in the passing lane when it’s a quick pass, or he can’t get to the backfield. Weinzetl sheds pulling offensive linemen easily, and gets off blocks to fill running lanes and meet ball carriers in the hole. He’s quick, explosive, fast, and athletic — everything teams look for in an edge rusher. Watch out for Weinzetl to make some noise in the rankings this season.
