Alex Highsmith projects as a stand-up edge rusher in a 3-4 scheme, perfect for Gregg Williams’ defensive front.

As a senior, Highsmith earned first-team all-conference recognition and was also named a third-team All-American by the Associated Press. Highsmith finished among the top five nationally with 21.5 tackles for loss and 14 sacks in 13 starts.

Highsmith’s play focuses more on speed and finesse than physical strength to set the edge. The UNC Charlotte product can certainly come in as a backup for Jordan Jenkins and, with continued development, can eventually be penciled in as a starter.
