Nic Scourton

Transfer from Purdue. Prototypical size and measurements for a 4-3 DE – good height, huge frame, desired mass and girth, and extremely long arms. Very quick-twitched and has a great first step. Plays with very good bend and a wide base. Very good athlete with light feet, loose hips, and good range. Hustles and chases plays with a great motor. Sets a tremendous edge and shuts down the outside run lane. Excellent burst to slice through the LOS and disrupt run plays – spends a lot of time in the backfield and records a lot of TFLs. Good hands fighter – works to shed the OL’s grip. Pushes the pocket with natural strength and power and has one of the most impressive bull rushes in this class. Excellent closing burst on the QB. Lacks much of a pass rush plan and needs to add some counters to improve his pass rush. Led the Big Ten in sacks in 2023 at Purdue.
