Armondo Blount

A rosy defensive line prospect with a rare blend of twitch, power and bend. Not only owns elite throwing markers, but has tested in the upper percentile for his age. Has grown an inch or so since he first emerged on the recruiting scene down in South Florida and was believed to be hovering right around 6-foot-3.5, 250 pounds heading into his junior campaign. Will need to spend some time in the weight room before he’s ready to go on Saturdays, but has plenty of growth potential with larger features and verified additional length in the arms. Wins from both the inside and the outside. Could likely play a variety of different roles at the next level and already has experience working up and down the line of scrimmage. Active, heavy hands allow him to fight off blockers while a flexible lower half makes it easy for him to find leverage. Tends to bring plenty of energy each snap and isn’t one that’s looking to bail on a rush. Does a favorable job of keeping his eyes in the backfield and seems to understand gap discipline. However, is likely only going to get better as a run defender once he adds more mass. Totaled 13 sacks on varsity as a freshman before tallying 16 more as a sophomore. More notably, held his ground while facing a stout Bishop Gorman offensive line in one of the first games of his junior season. Will need to keep progressing, but should be viewed as one of the top overall prospects in the 2025 cycle given his early body of work and a potential difference-maker at the Power Five level.
