7/13/20: Rousseau was one of the best edge defenders in college football during 2019. Despite being a redshirt freshman, he collected 15.5 sacks with two forced fumbles and 54 tackles on the year. Rousseau has an excellent skill set with upside to develop. His sack numbers may decline as a redshirt sophomore and/or junior with double teams and scheming, but he could become a more developed player in the years to come
7/13/20: After serving as a backup during his freshman season, Tryon broke out in 2019 as one of the top pass-rushers in the Pac-12. He totaled eight sacks with 41 tackles and one pass batted on the year. Tryon has a lot of upside and could be a player who develops well under Jimmy Lake
7/13/20: Thibodeaux had a superb freshman season for the Ducks, doing a great job of getting after the quarterback. As a sophomore and junior, it would help Thibodeaux to gain more strength as he will need more weight to hold up as a run defender and to shed blocks from NFL offensive linemen. He has plenty of time to add weight and get stronger as a sophomore
7/13/20: Harrison was a top recruit because he has a great skill set that he flashed as a freshman in 2019. Harrison showed the potential to emerge as an impactful defensive end during his sophomore year and beyond. With Chase Young in the NFL, Harrison could take over as a starter and enjoy a breakout 2020 for the Buckeyes
7/13/20: Jackson had an impressive debut for the Trojans in 2019. He showed some pass-rush potential with a quality set of size and speed. Given his skill set, Jackson has the upside to improve his production as he gains more experience
7/13/20: Hutchinson had a breakout sophomore season for the Wolverines as a tough defender and flashed pass-rush ability. He has excellent size for the next level, where he could be a base end in a 4-3 or a 3-4 five-technique defensive end. Improving his pass-rush production could help Hutchinson to rise as a junior and/or senior
