College interest in Pudenz is picking up following a junior season at Carroll that saw him flash potential on both sides of the ball despite missing three games with a hand injury. He recorded 16.5 tackles with four stops for loss and a sack. We can witness what the scouts like with Pudenz when watching his 11th-grade highlight video. He’s an absolute mauler on the interior of the offensive line. Firing off of the snap, he’s into the chest of the opponent and overwhelming him from the jump. Pudenz operates with active hands and optimal leverage, which makes him effective in pass protection and run blocking. It’s a skill set that also plays on the defensive front, where he disrupts the proceedings of the guys across from him.
