His blend of physical attributes and football intelligence suggests he could develop into a starting-caliber player in the NFL.

His strength lies in his unique blend of speed and physicality, giving him mismatch potential against linebackers and safeties alike. With further development in his blocking consistency and refinement in concentration during catches, Loveland projects as a versatile weapon in both traditional and spread formations. His athletic profile and basketball background make him a fit for offenses that value tight ends with vertical and horizontal stretch capabilities.

< Back Donovan Ezeiruaku Boston College HT: 6020 WT: 247 YR: SR POS: ED OVR RK 33 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 6 High-End Starter Potential OVR RK PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Donovan Ezeiruaku is a fluid, bendy pass rusher with an advanced hand-fighting repertoire and natural feel for getting to the quarterback. His ability to win with finesse, leverage, and counter moves allows him to be a consistent pass-rush threat, but he lacks elite burst and play strength to hold up against bigger offensive tackles. While not a pure power rusher, his ability to convert speed to power, along with his bend and ankle flexion, makes him a high-upside pass-rush specialist. Ezeiruaku fits best as a 3-4 OLB in a blitz-heavy scheme, but he also has the versatility to play as a 4-3 DE in sub-packages. Expect him to start as a rotational edge rusher and develop into a three-down defender with added weight and strength.

His athleticism and coverage skills make him a great fit as a modern WILL linebacker, while his toughness and special teams prowess add to his value. He must improve at disengaging from blocks and increase functional strength to become a three-down starter.

His sharp route running, quick footwork, and ability to process coverages make him a consistent chain-mover in a spread or West Coast offense. Though his size, catch radius, and drop issues present some concerns, his agility and route manipulation give him WR3 upside with immediate special teams contributions.

< Back Nick Emmanwori South Carolina HT: 6030 WT: 227 YR: JR POS: S OVR RK 27 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 2 High-End Starter Potential OVR RK PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Nick Emmanwori is a supersized, physical defensive back with a hybrid safety-linebacker skill set that allows him to match up against tight ends, play in the box, and contribute in zone coverage. His length, speed, and tackling ability make him a tone-setting presence against the run, while his range and ball skills add value in coverage. However, hip tightness and transition quickness limit his ability to be a true deep-field safety or slot coverage defender. Emmanwori’s best NFL fit is as a hybrid strong safety/linebacker in a multiple-front defense, particularly in big nickel packages or as a matchup weapon against athletic tight ends.

He thrives in zone-based run schemes where he can use his mobility and angles to gain leverage but needs to develop better play strength and anchor to handle NFL power rushers. His quick feet, strong hands, and smooth mirror skills project him as a Day 1 starter with Pro Bowl upside at left tackle.

He thrives in single-high and split-zone alignments, showing NFL-ready tackling ability and route anticipation.

His ball skills, press ability, and tackling mentality make him a great fit for man-heavy or Cover 3 schemes that emphasize physicality at the line of scrimmage. His inconsistent ball production and deep speed concerns limit his ceiling, but his high floor as a disruptor at the catch point should make him a valuable addition to an NFL secondary.

< Back Josh Simmons Ohio State HT: 6050 WT: 310 YR: SR POS: OT OVR RK 34 POS RK CEILING POTENTIAL 4 High-End Starter Potential OVR RK PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT Josh Simmons is an athletic, fluid-moving tackle with good foot quickness, balance, and hand activity. He offers positional versatility, having started games at both left and right tackle, but will need refinement to handle NFL edge rushers consistently. His pass protection ability stands out, as he operates with a natural feel for pocket depth and excellent lateral mobility to protect the edge. While Simmons can mirror speed rushers effectively, he still struggles against power, often catching defenders instead of delivering a firm punch. His season-ending knee injury raises concerns regarding durability, and his inconsistent recognition of twists and stunts needs improvement. He projects best as a zone-scheme left tackle or a right tackle in a movement-based offense, but he may require a redshirt rookie year to fully recover and refine his play strength.

He excels at attacking leverage, manipulating defenders at the top of routes, and finding space against zone coverage. While he lacks top-end explosiveness and struggles against press coverage, he projects well as a big slot or possession-style X-receiver in a West Coast or spread system.

His functional athleticism, anchor ability, and football IQ make him a strong developmental starting option. However, hand placement, leverage discipline, and ability to handle speed rushers on the edge remain concerns.
