#95 Levi Onwuzurike VS CAL (2019)

#95 Levi Onwuzurike HIGHLIGHTS

Strengths: He is a powerful and explosive defensive line that has a long, rangy frame.
He uses his long frame and arms against the blocker to explode thru him and use tremendous leg drive. Amazing how he can push them back, disrupting the timing of the run plays. He has excellent athleticism with angles laterally and recovers well on misdirection plays or causes problems with blockers that are not athletic to reach him on trap or counter plays. As a pass rusher, his direct line to the ball is impressive, and his power is unbelievable on how he can get upfield and use the club to throw the blocker aside. His cat-like reflexes are impressive, chasing down plays from behind or quarterbacks scrambling away.

Weaknesses: He chose to sit the season out throughout the global pandemic outburst and later declared to forego his senior year. At the next level, he needs to develop a better pass rush attack. He can find better ways to beat one-on-one with crafty moves than his power and strength. Bigger offensive guards and centers will challenge him on single blocking schemes to drive him out of the plays. He will maximize his play on the field if he can stronger and add about ten more pounds of bulk to his frame.
