SCOUTING REPORT
Ruke Orhorhoro's draft stock has been rising, and with good reason. His blend of power, explosiveness, and versatility make him a valuable asset for NFL teams looking to bolster their defensive line. His ceiling is high, given his relatively recent introduction to football and the rapid improvement he's shown over his college career. Based on his projected contribution and physical attributes, he's positioned as a mid-second rounder with the potential to outperform his draft position as he continues to refine his technique and understanding of the game.
Primary scout:
Brandon Lundberg
PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Orhorhoro has shown himself to be a versatile defender with experience playing across the defensive line, from the edge to the nose tackle position. His strengths lie in his ability to stop the run and apply pressure on the quarterback through sheer power and explosiveness. He fits well in a base 3-4 defense as a defensive end but has the versatility and athleticism to contribute in various defensive schemes. Orhorhoro's approach to pass-rushing leans more towards power than finesse, often utilizing a bull rush to disrupt the backfield?.
