Read EvaluationJordan Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Massive size and frame at 6’2” 300 lbs. At his size, he’s a good athlete with natural movement skills. Projects as an interior defensive linemen at the college level but shows good ability at multiple positions on either side of the line. He’s got two gap ability and is equally effective as a run stopper and pass rusher. Pursues both the ball carrier and QB hard showing good short area burst and lateral quickness to close space. Uses his natural strength to control blockers and then disengage to free himself up to make a tackle. He’s a body tackler that explodes on contact and finishes to the ground with aggression. Holds two PAC12 offers thus far from Arizona and Washington State but expect his recruiting stock on the rise as the recruiting cycle progresses.
