#91 FELIX ANUDIKE-UZOMAH
2022 SEASON HIGHLIGHTS
K-STATE WILDCATS​

STRENGTHS

• He has an excellent built frame, is powerful, has quick short-area speed, and is a versatile and crafty specimen.
  
• At the line of scrimmage, he explodes off the snap with excellent acceleration vertically.
  
• He plays against the run as a strong defender when penetrating through the run gaps.
  
• He takes on the block well with excellent pad level and disrupts the offensive line's blocking schemes.
  
• He quickly changes directions on the fly and beats the blocker with inside or outside pass moves.
  
• He squares his body up immediately and creates shoulder and head effects to set up the pass blocker.
  
• He demonstrates flexibility with the skills to bend at the top of the rush with his ankles and flip the corner with relative ease to get hope.
  
• At the initial point of attack, he will keep pumping his legs and driving his feet with bull rush moves to go through the lineman.
  

WEAKNESS

• When there is a combination of speed and power, defaults arrive with the territory.
  
• He does have consistent explosion off the snap, and when he mistimes the count, he will get caught above the pad level.
  
• He consistently will stand straight up when not penetrated the gaps and loses his leverage and gap integrity.
  
• He needs to get to the weight room and bulk up more muscle mass, as the massive offensive tackles will eat him alive.
  
• Concerns about his upper body strength as he struggled to shed blocks from the massive linemen.
  
• He must use his hands more frequently when applying his bull rush and tends to get his hand below his target point.
  
• He was selected to the 2023 NFL Combine but could not perform due to a foot injury, however, did some drills at K-State pro day.
