Draft Profile: Bio
Josiah Ezirim from Hilliard Davidson High School was rated a 3-star prospect by 247 Sports with a rating of 0.820.Scouting Report: Strengths
- Showing some nastiness to his game, Ezirim will sustain blocks through the whistle, thriving when he’s in the phone booth.
- Willing to attack and punches multiple times to finish the play. Quick to pick up edge blitz and shows no panic, easily adjusting angles and resetting his feet. Can recover and reset his anchor. Rarely late off the snap.
- A better than expected athlete who steadily improved in pass protection. Stout at the point of attack and maintains a wide base.
- At his best mauling in the run game, playing with a nasty demeanor and consistently keeping it going through the whistle.
- Good natural athleticism, knee bend and fluid lateral movement to mirror college defensive ends.
- Plays with natural leverage and has the strength to anchor against the bull rush. Ezirim also packs a violent initial punch that can stand up pass rushers.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- While he’s solid as an athlete, he’s more comfortable moving forward as a run blocker than setting in pass protection, as Ezirim too often relies solely on his initial punch to stand up pass rushers instead of moving his feet.
- Middling physical traits limit his ceiling, and he most likely will top out as a fringe starter on the right side.
- Raw as a pass protector, looking choppy and unnatural when moving back into his set, often playing too upright.
