PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
As for his playstyle, Foskey is a dynamic and explosive pass rusher with a quick first step and good speed around the edge. He also possesses excellent length and uses his hands well to create separation from offensive linemen. Foskey is equally adept at rushing from the edge or kicking inside to take advantage of mismatches against slower guards or centers. In terms of scheme fit at the NFL level, Foskey projects well as a 4-3 defensive end or a 3-4 outside linebacker. His size and athleticism make him an ideal fit as an edge rusher in a multiple-front defense. However, he must continue developing his technique and refining his pass-rushing moves to become a consistent threat at the next level.
SCOUTING REPORT

With continued development and refinement of his technique, Foskey has the potential to be a highly productive pass rusher at the NFL level.
