King Eg #12 on Dane Bugler's Beast Board for EDGE:
STRENGTHS: Broad-framed athlete with solid build and excellent length ... improved play strength at the point of attack ... balanced through contact, using forward lean to create movement ... shows a powerful long-arm, angling his body into blockers to drive them backward ... great job catching and throwing the hands/wrists of blockers ... strategic rusher and efficiently patches together moves, keeping the wasted movements to a minimum ... has a knack for knocking the ball out (four forced fumbles the past two years) ... uses wide, flexible steps to avoid blockers and stay detached ... physical, drag-down tackler ... motor always runs hot ... played defensive tackle as a freshman and has versatility on the edge ... finished his career No. 9 on the school’s all-time sack list.
WEAKNESSES: Not a sudden or super bendy athlete ... has some tightness at the top of his rush ... needs a moment when changing directions, and blockers can catch him off-balance ... his pass rush setup can be tweaked and improved ... inconsistent moments in the run game, and his pad level can give blockers a clean target ... the medicals are important after he underwent hip surgery in the offseason prior to his junior year (couldn’t walk for almost two months in his recovery); also missed the final two games of his junior season ... average sack production with only 4.5 sacks as a senior.
SUMMARY: A two-year starter at South Carolina, Enagbare played the “Buck” edge rusher position (mostly in the boundary) in defensive coordinator Clayton White’s 4-2-5 hybrid scheme. After Javon Kinlaw left for the NFL, Enagbare grew into the alpha on the Gamecocks’ defensive line, leading the team in sacks and tackles for loss as a junior and senior. Enagbare rushes with heavy, skilled hands and forward lean to convert his speed to power and does a nice job with his rush sequencing to set traps for blockers. He is rugged and alert but will need to become more consistent setting the edge in the run game and proving he can kick inside on passing downs. Overall, Enagbare has tightness in his movements and lacks suddenness, but he is efficient and powerful in his attack with the athletic movements to break down the rhythm of blockers. He projects as a rotational defensive end who has the talent to quickly earn NFL starter reps.
GRADE: 2nd-3rd Round (No. 69 overall)
