Basham measures in at 5’11 180-pounds and himself a nice season. He had 84 total tackles (63 solo, 21 assisted) 2 TFL, 2 sacks, 1 QB pressure, 1 INT, 1 PD, 1 FF, 1 blocked punt, and 1 blocked field goal with 24 carries for 137 yards. Basham was used as a MLB and a read option wildcat QB. He has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, acceleration, good change of direction, lateral agility, and jumping. Basham consistently keeps his eyes on the QB, leading him to a tackle. Plays with a head full of steam, and doesn’t stop till until after the whistle. He starts with an explosive quick step, and runs downhill. He is a strong tackler, stopping the ball carrier in their tracks. Very good run stopper. Basham is a very good blitzer, he fits through the gaps to get the TFL. When he’s placed on the edge, he shows a good bend with a good bull rush. I’m very excited to see how he does during his junior season !
