As a 6'3"/240# DE/OLB, does Ojulari have sufficient core strength to set the EDGE ?
This is an important question, especially in the day of RPO.
It must be asked of all EDGE prospects.
There has to be some combination of pass rush skill, with counter, anchor, disengage and diagnosis.
A little ankle flexion, burst and bend is always nice.
.Let's go to the weight room.
Ojulari's numbers are...
---Power Clean 330 pounds
---Bench Press 355 pounds
---Squat 500+ pounds
in high school.
Ojulari has stealth strength combine with technique and powerful, accurate, lightning quick handwork.
This renders him adequate in dealing with Olinemen.
Development of a better counter move or plan B in his pass rush will yield a more complete prospect.
That is something that will be coached into this young player.
The only prospect who was better in this year's bowl action was Justin Fields.
This is an underrated, rapidly ascending prospect.
A perfect fit at a position of need.
Exactly the kind of selection our scouts and front office will make,
due to value, character and high ceiling.
