Draft Profile: Bio
Khordae Sydnor from Iona Preparatory High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 3-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Sydnor joined Purdue.In 2021 as a freshman Sydnor saw action in 4 games and played a total of 19 snaps for the Boilermakers. He recorded no tackles, no assists, while adding no stops.
As a sophomore for the Boilermakers in 2022 Sydnor played in 13 games and took part in 317 snaps for the Boilermakers. He recorded 13 tackles, 4 assists, while adding 13 stops. As a pass rusher, he chalked up 16 total pressures, and 10 QB hurries, one QB hit, and 5 sacks during the year.
In 2023 as a junior Sydnor played in 10 games and contributed on 157 snaps. He recorded only 2 tackles, one assist while making 3 stops. As a pass rusher, he produced 11 total pressures, which included 7 QB hurries, one QB hit, and 3 sacks on the year.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- 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.
- His hand use is excellent; he’s strong in the upper body and consistently swats away blockers.
- Sydnor has an excellent feel for working off blockers and knowing how and when to counter as the play goes on.
- He's not an elite pass rusher and projects as a left end in a 4-3 defense. If Sydnor layers on more muscle, he might fit in the 3-4. Size, strength and versatility should push him into the top 75 picks.
- He explodes off the line with a quick first step, with agile feet to counter inside and closing burst to finish plays.
- Sydnor is strong enough in the lower body to hold up at the point of attack, and he displays a good feel as a grappler in the phone booth, consistently getting blockers off-balance before sending them to the ground.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- While Sydnor has violent hands, he uses them too inconsistently. Sydnor tends to let blockers get into his chest, and he’ll waste time hand fighting due to a limited array of pass rush moves.
- Sydnor lacks elite traits in the pass rush and will need to develop a counter move.
- Lean lower body - must improve core and leg strength. Suspect body flexibility and tight hips.
