Physical Profile
Listed at 6-5, 220 lbs. Taller than 82% and heavier than 15% of 2025 Edge Rusher prospects in the SEC Scouts database (107 with a listed size).
Play Style
Cannot provide specific play style analysis without positional information or film study. However, prospects from St. John Bosco's program typically demonstrate high football IQ, technical fundamentals, and competitive mentality developed through elite-level competition.
Strengths
- Elite high school program pedigree - St. John Bosco consistently produces major college and NFL talent
- Strong composite rating of 0.9131 indicates consensus recognition of his abilities across multiple scouting services
- Positional versatility as evidenced by undetermined position classification suggests athletic adaptability
Areas to Improve
- Positional identity needs clarification for focused development and optimal college fit
- Limited available data makes it difficult to assess specific technical skills that require refinement
College Projection
Projects as a multi-year contributor at Power 5 level based on ranking. Likely redshirt candidate initially while determining optimal position and developing physically. Could see rotational role by sophomore year with potential for significant impact by junior season.
NFL Outlook
Fringe NFL Draft consideration with strong development. 4-star ranking provides foundation, but specific positional development and college production will determine professional viability. Late-round selection possible if he maximizes college opportunity.
Best Fit
Power 5 programs with strong player development track records and positional flexibility. Schools that can evaluate his skill set across multiple positions and have patience for development would maximize his potential.
Player Comparison
Both prospects share the rare 6'5" 220lb frame that suggests elite athleticism and positional versatility - Pitts was similarly recruited as a multi-position athlete before settling at tight end. The St. John Bosco pedigree mirrors Pitts' development at a top-tier program, and the 4-star rating with positional uncertainty reflects how elite athletes often project to multiple positions at the next level due to their unique physical gifts.
