Dearborn is one of the most under-appreciated programs in Division 1. For quite a few years now, they’ve been a top-15 team.

Nayef is one of the many reasons why Dearborn is a consistent playoff team. This is an off-ball outside linebacker with a ton of range, physicality, plus some smarts. A lot of teams struggle to defend screens / runs outside the tackles. That said, a lot of teams would love a guy like Nayef on their squad.

Probably ranked a little low right now. I could absolutely see Nayef finding success this offseason.

Taking another look at Nayef- someone I’ve watched a couple of times in the past.

A solid highlight tape on both sides of the ball. His tape begins with a good hit and quick reaction to the WR screen. Second, another great, quick reaction to an attempted screen. Throughout his defensive tape, I’m generally impressed with Nayef’s play speed. He should be ranked as a linebacker come next month!

Offensively, he has a few solid highlights. At 0:51, he follows his blocks and fights through a few weak tackles for the near-score. Still, it looks like he’s primarily an outside linebacker.
