USA Today - Undersized but athletic prospect from one of the nation’s top defenses, Versatility translated into fantastic production in 2017 (104 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, five sacks). What he lacks in ideal bulk, O’Daniel more than makes up for with instincts, athletic ability and a nonstop motor....Put on probation after felony aggravated assault charges were later dropped....High-effort defenderwho will make an immediate impact at the next level, even if it’s not in the starting lineup. Look for a 4-3 team to snatch him up as a valuable asset on coverage teams, with the upside to eventually start on the weak side.
Lindy's - Played SAM (outside nickel backer)...One of five Butkus Award finalists...Plays tougher than he looks but not a power guy...Lacks size & strength but is always on the prowl and ready to diagnose and attack...destructive blitzer....Comfortable in coverage..work ethic and study habis show increased maturity..."Probably as good a player as we've got on the team" - Dabo Swinney. ..

Malik Jefferson |

USA Today - It’s rare to see a linebacker prospect with Jefferson’s combination of size, athleticism and physicality. Typically, to get his kind of range, you have to give up something in bulk but that’s not the case with this talented Longhorn...A raw but destructive force...still needs plenty of refinement if he wants to maximize his physical tools, but he’s barely scratched the surface of his potential. May take some lumps as a rookie, but his pure talent and upside make him worth first-round consideration.

Tegray Scales |
x |
Indiana |
Sr |
6000 |
230 |
x |
USA Today -One of the most productive (yet still underrated) defenders in the country, Scales has been a one-man wrecking crew for the Hoosiers defense. Racked up 215 tackles, 36 tackles for loss and 13 sacks over the past two seasons....A versatile defender who can play inside in a 3-4 or any linebacker spot in a 4-3/ has the physical and mental tools to make an immediate impact at the next level. His intelligence will allow NFL coaches to trust him early on, making him an early favorite to start as a rookie.

Leighton Vander Esch

Boise St |
Jr |
6040 |
242 |
x |
(USA Today - A surprise addition to an already deep LB class who brings an ideal combination of size, athleticism and intelligence to the table. A versatile prospect with great instincts and a physical playing style...was named this year’s Conference Defensive Player of the Year...After injuries cost him half of his 2016 campaign, Vander Esch came back with a vengeance as a junior, racking up 126 tackles. A big-play magnet, (who) grabbed a trio of sacks, interceptions and forced fumbles this season, proving he can do it all at the next level.
