Justus Boone

Possesses an above average stature and frame for a strong-side defensive end. Has room to add mass once in a college strength program and could ultimately grow into a defensive tackle, nearing 300 pounds. Plays with physicality and aggression. Stands out as an edge-setting run defender. Has active hands at the point of attack with the ability to disengage via strength or quickness in moves. Shows good effort and speed in chasing down plays in pursuit. Productive as a junior, making a good number of plays behind the line of scrimmage. Still progressing as a pass rusher and will need to continue adding nuance to his game on that front. Projects as a Power 5 level starter with the upside of developing into a NFL Draft pick.
