LB Noah Sewell

What can be said about Noah Sewell that already hasn’t? Of course, Sewell is one one the top linebackers returning for the 2022 season. Oregon’s lucky he’s not eligible for the NFL draft yet because he would most likely be a first-round pick in 2022. It will be fun to find out how much Sewell’s play will pick up when he has a healthy Justin Flowe lining up next to him on a regular basis. Here’s what PFF had to say about Oregon star linebacker:

The Sewell family once again has one of the best players in college football. After Penei dominated the offensive side of the ball, Noah is now wreaking havoc on defense. The Oregon off-ball linebacker takes on blocks with a vengeance and is a fearful blitzer. Sewell racked up 34 pressures from 98 pass-rushes while earning an 88.6 pass-rush grade in 2021. The way he moves at 6-foot-3, 251-pounds is freaky. Sewell’s tackling needs to be cleaner, but no one has a higher ceiling at the position.
