Machado continues to be one of Nevada’s most productive tacklers currently leading the state with 97 total (64 solo) and 12 TFLs after posting 137 as a junior. He’s a lean, athletic LB at 6’2″/180 that can get sideline to sideline with the range and lateral speed he possesses. He does a good job of staying clean between the OTs, takes efficient angles in pursuit, and is a solid form tackler. Machado is a versatile defensive prospect that could play a hybrid OLB/SS role at the next level- he just picked up an offer from Eastern Oregon in September.
