Jack Sawyer, Defensive End
What VanHaaren Says About Sawyer
“Sawyer is the No. 1-ranked player overall, but he has room to grow on the field and physically. He’s 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, and he enrolled early at Ohio State. With defensive line coach Larry Johnson’s success at the position, there is reason to believe Sawyer is going to be another great defensive end for the Buckeyes. Nick and Joey Bosa and Chase Young were all first-round NFL draft picks, and Sawyer is hoping to see the same success.”
ESPN’s Craig Haubert Scouting report: The No. 1 player in the 2021 ESPN 300, Sawyer is an explosive presence off the edge. A prospect with nice frame, he added needed mass to his frame over course of his final year of high school. He flashes impressive power, is active with his hands and moves well, allowing him to not only develop into an elite pass rusher, but also be a well-rounded three-down player.
