Jaray Bledsoe

No verified size, but looks and plays big on tape. Stout, burly build that still contains space for additional bulk. Flashes impressive lateral quickness and range, especially for his size and role. Redirects with relative ease and does not lose much steam. Good linear pursuit speed to close on the ball with conviction. Physical player with general suddenness and violence to his game. Extensive experience on both sides of the ball with outstanding production during junior season (100-plus tackles, 1,000-plus rushing yards). Multi-sport athlete who throws the shot put (49-7 PR as a junior). Regularly disengages to make plays but will need to work on hand technique and move set to continue his playmaking ways against high-major competition. Tackling technique and pad level consistency can improve. Will face a significant jump in competition going from small-school ball in rural Central Texas to the Power Five level. A natural talent with functional athleticism well beyond his size. Likely fits multiple roles and schemes. Projects to the high-major level with the potential to become an impact starter who possesses a ceiling beyond college.
