Scouting Report: Strengths
- His spin move is already NFL-caliber, and Soelle displays a very good motor.
- Relentless and strong off the edge as a pass rusher when fresh. Gets under the pads of tackles to bull rush them into the backfield.
- Accelerates rapidly and has a great feel for angles. Soelle isn’t huge, but he packs a pop.
- Combines excellent power with initial quickness, but one of his best attributes are his violent hands, which he uses with impressive precision.
- He’s explosive off the line of scrimmage, showing the quickness that sets blockers back on their heels.
- Showed initial quickness and good flexibility to dip and bend. Soelle has active hands and suddenness to his movements, demonstrating the ability to counter inside.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Doesn’t play with a physical edge. Soelle too often wants to run around the edge, and Soelle has trouble disengaging when an offensive lineman can get into his frame.
- He remains a bit raw, as he is inconsistent with his hand use and lacks violence in his hands
- Soelle has to develop a counter move or two in the pass rush, and he needs to make better use of his hands.
