Scouting Report: Strengths

• Amazing physical attributes with elite power and agility for his size
• Made Bruce Feldman's Freak's List - ranked #14. He wrote "The former five-star was a third-team All-ACC selection (15 tackles, three TFLs) despite being limited to four games due to a torn ACL in late September. Bresee benched 435 pounds, power-cleaned 330, and deadlifted 585. He has vertical-jumped 30 inches, but the most impressive number is him clocking in the high 4.7s in the 40."
• Bresee plays with leverage and brings good power, especially in his lower body, consistently holding up against double teams in the run game.
• Elite strength and balance to sit down, lockout, and create a pile, leading to possibilities inside and out (in the 3-4).
• Finds the ball well and explodes into the backfield at the snap to disrupt passing lanes and find ball carriers.
• Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.
• He has the lateral agility and balance to cover two gaps, and Bresee shows some good closing burst when moving down the line in pursuit.
• While he can win with leverage and is capable of dipping around the edge, he is better at winning on inside counter moves with a combination of quickness and violent hands.
• He’s strong at the point of attack against the run, able to hold his own when asked to play inside and battle double teams. Bresee has outstanding lateral movement skills and is quick to slip blocks with the speed to cover a lot of ground in pursuit.
• He’s very instinctive when it comes to countering and solid with overall hand usage.
• Twitchy and can rip through lateral contact
• Versatility to play up and down the line
• Capable of dictating 5-0 protection calls from the opposition
• Draws a crowd due to movement skills and motor
• Ability to help clean up extended plays
