2024 EDGE Scouting Notes

An early look into the 2024 edge rusher class with stats, comps and notes.

It’s never too early to start looking at the next crop of prospects for the NFL draft - I’ve been on 2024 since mid-April. I’ll be releasing the notes I’ve taken so far on a few prospects - starting with the quarterbacks and releasing a different position group each week. This week we look at the edge rusher class.

These are not complete scouting reports but some observations I’ve made so far. Enjoy

+ Positives and strengths
- Negatives or needs work
? Questions I still have, things I haven’t seen on tape yet

J.T. Tuimoloau, Ohio State, 6’4, 277
+ Has shown the ability to take over games
+ Plays with good leverage and strength
+ Good backside penetration against the run
+ Rarely gets knocked off his spot
+ Heavy hands and strong punch knocks blockers off balance

- Limited pass rush production
- Needs to add more pass rush moves - great bull rush
- Doesn’t beat blockers with speed, burst or agility

? Is he as good in coverage as his stats are
? Can he live up to the Penn State game hype
