Clev Lubin LB/EDGE Louisville |
NFL Draft Profile & Scouting Report

Scouting Report: Weaknesses

• Ordinary burst wins with power more than pure corner bend
• Hand counters can stall against the longest NFL-caliber tackles
• First step is good rather than rare off the snap
• Will need a defined alignment after a year of moving around

Scouting Report: Summary

Lubin is a productive, well-rounded edge whose pass rush sat near the ceiling of the position, and the box score backed it: sixty-four pressures, eleven sacks, and a stout thirty-three run stops. He disrupted Toledo with two sacks and eight pressures, stoned California for six stops while logging eight tackles, and even held up in coverage. He finishes tackles cleanly with only four misses, which makes him trustworthy on every down rather than a pure rusher.

The ceiling is shaped by ordinary explosion. His timed speed is good rather than rare, so he wins with power and length more than pure corner bend, and his hand counters can stall against the longest NFL tackles. The first step is solid but not elite, and after a year of moving around the front he will want a defined alignment as a pro. He is a high-floor producer whose game is more polish than top-end athleticism.

He profiles as a three-down starting edge who rushes, sets the edge, and can drop in a pinch, the kind of complete player whose floor is high even if the athletic ceiling is capped. Production at this level after a jump from the Sun Belt to the ACC makes the tape easy to trust. He grades as a Day 2 edge and a plug-and-play front-seven piece, a sound, low-variance addition.
