The guy is 6ft-6",322 lbs with 7 1/2 sacks this season. I can't find much film on him. Has anyone seen him? What's your evaluation of him?
 
Can’t find any highlight footage but the numbers behind the numbers (7.5 sacks) look good. He didn’t just dominate weak competition by say getting 3 sacks vs Northern Iowa, but he had 1 vs Iowa, 1 vs UNLV, 1 vs Baylor, 1 vs OSU, 1 vs KSU, and 2.5 vs Texas. Good looking prospect.

Iowa State runs a 3-3-5, so I'm interested to know if this dude plays NT or 4-5Tech DE.

Betting he’s more of a 3-4 tech like Akiem Hicks. You don’t see many guys that weight at the edge.

Quinn seems to favor longer athletes, so he is a guy I can definitely see us looking into in the spring. He probably would make both Bohanna and Urban irrelevant

From Bruger

Eyioma Uwazurike, DL, Iowa State (6-6, 310)

Evaluators are studying the Iowa State front seven primarily for linebacker Mike Rose and pass rusher Will McDonald. But Eyioma Uwazurike (pronounced ee-YO-much ooh-WAH-zuh-REE-kay) is playing his best football as a sixth-year senior. He’s forcing scouts to reevaluate the priority free agent grades from the summer. He currently ranks second on the team in tackles for loss (seven) and sacks (five).

Lining up both inside and outside on the Cyclones’ multiple front, Uwazurike fires upfield with active hands and a determined mentality. He will lose his balance through contact at times, but he gives blockers all they can handle with his blend of power and quickness. Uwazurike isn’t a lock to be drafted, but there is a much greater chance that he hears his name called now compared to two months ago.

His age alone will push him down some.

He is going to be an interesting guy to watch at the combine. Bruger's writeup mentioned scouts had him as a UDFA over the summer. His production alone will change that, but the fact that he is old and has one year of production could stiffle his rise. Hard to imagine a 320 lbs player from the Big 10 who will probably finish with double digit sacks not being a day 2 pick. But it could happen
