Industry Comparison
Scouting Take: Zina Umeozulu was arguably one of the more difficult evaluations for us throughout the recruiting cycle. The body type and movement skills have always been there, but the film and production never matched what we saw in a camp setting or live viewing. The gifted edge rusher from Allen (TX) has the frame and movement skills to be a special talent and we saw some improvement in his production towards the back end of the senior season which gave us a ton of hope going into the Under Armour All-American week. It was there where we finally saw Umeozulu put the whole package together. He was flying off the line of scrimmage and was mixing up pass rush moves to get after the quarterback. He was stout and powerful against the run. It’s like it all clicked for him in that instance and he was dominant throughout the entire week. We believe the arrow is continuing to point up and he should develop into a game wrecker against the run and the pass at the next level. – Cody Bellaire, On3 National Scout
