Scouting Report: Strengths
- Best attribute. Extreme quickness off the edge, has the flexibility to turn the corner.
- Intelligent player who can play "MIKE" linebacker despite his lack of size because of his instincts and ability to find the ball in traffic.
- Flashes closing speed and agility to reach passers from the blind side or up the middle before they can escape.
- Ausberry can move laterally and chase in pursuit. A tough, violent tackler with a non-stop motor, Ausberry also shows good awareness when dropping into coverage.
- The talent is there as a sideline-to-sideline playmaker.
- Closes quickly on relatively immobile quarterbacks. A consistently heavy hitter who flashes explosiveness and the ability to separate the ball.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Lacks functional strength in the pass rush, struggling to disengage and too easily pushed past the pocket.
- As good as Ausberry is attacking downhill, he can get overaggressive and overrun plays, opening up cutback lanes for counter runs.
- As a run defender, he’s too much of a grab-and-drag tackler, lacking violence and too frequently allowing running backs to escape.
