SUMMARY

Felix Anudike-Uzomah is a high production EDGE rusher with a slightly raw but promising skillset. He had a combined 19.5 sacks and 25.5 tackles for loss in his final two seasons at Kansas State. After a promising Sophomore season, he get more attention this past season and was still able to produce despite more double-teams.

Anudike-Uzomah's strength is his pass rush ability. He has a legit array of pass rush moves that should only expand at the next level. He has multiple successful outside moves that setup his ability to use strength or quickness to counter back inside. He has great flexibility and sudden explosiveness to propel him past offensive tackles.

Anudike-Uzomah's footwork and hand usage can be a bit chaotic at times and it lead to him sometimes getting caught off-balance and/or losing leverage. He isn't consistent with his momentum out of his stance resulting in the occasional late start. He also struggled at times against premier tackles that could mirror his movement. When he can't overpower such tackles, he had a hard time making an impact.

Anudike-Uzomah could succeed as a 3-4 OLB or a 4-3 defensive end at the next level. His playing style would probably work best with him putting on another 5-10 pounds and continuing to play with his hand in the dirt.
