Kendrick Gilbert

Has the size and body type to project to more than one defensive line position. Traditional 4-3 strongside end is a possibility, but 3-4 defensive end could also be in his future. Active and plays with good motor. Has plus athleticism and ability to run down plays but he can still get faster and more explosive. Solid get-off and ability to penetrate. Shows he can play on the edge currently, but may outgrow that. Depending on what the role he will play in college is, he may need to continue to add weight and get stronger. We think an inside-outside combo like what he does in high school is very likely. Versatile, with good size and technique, he should be a dependable Power Five starter.
