DeForest Buckner – DE – Oregon
Buckner is a former 4-star recruit from Hawaii who was offered by mostly west coast schools. He started two games as a true freshman and had 29 total tackles and 1.0 sacks. In 2013, he played in all games with 8 starts. He finished the year with 39 total tackles and 2.5 sacks. In 2014 he started every game and finished with 81 total tackles including 13 tackles for loss and 4.0 sacks. This year his production increased to 76 total tackles including 16 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks. He has shown improvement every year as a player.
Size –
6’6’– 302 – 4.88
Strong Points –
Has great size with very long arms. He is strong and explosive with very good athleticism, speed and body control. Stays on his feet and easily changes direction. Is a quick reactor with good instincts. Makes plays. Can control blockers at the line of scrimmage and get penetration to disrupt the run. Sheds quickly. Very good pass rusher with the ability to use counter moves. Will chase plays in pursuit. Very solid competitor, don’t see him taking plays off.
Weak Points –
Doesn’t have a twin brother
Summation –
This is a player who has shown improvement every year he has been at Oregon. Has the natural physical traits to be a dominant defensive lineman in the NFL. While he plays in a 3-4 scheme at Oregon, he can play in any scheme at the next level. Has really come on as a pass rusher this year and learned how to set up opponents and put moves together. Will no doubt be a top 10 pick and could very well be the first or second defensive linemen drafted. Should come in and start right away. As good as he is, he still has unlimited upside.
