As a sophomore for the Hurricanes in 2024 Aguirre Jr. played in 4 games and took part in 50 snaps for the Hurricanes. He recorded just 6 tackles, 4 assists, while adding 4 stops.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • He’s an instinctive and active chase-and-tackle 4-3 Will, with the speed to go sideline to sideline. Aguirre takes excellent angles. He also has an innate sense for shooting gaps as a run defender.
  • He’s a sure and violent wrap-up tackler with sideline-to-sideline range. He’s an excellent tackler in space, showing loose hips and the ability to break down and contain runners.
  • He’s rangy and instinctive when he’s looking into the backfield as a zone defender.
  • A bit stiff but makes the clean open-field tackle. Good effort in pursuit.
  • He has enough speed to chase and run in pursuit. Aguirre has the overall athleticism to hold up in space when dropping into coverage.
  • Good closing speed with long arms to drag down quarterbacks and running backs.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Often avoids blocks to survive between the tackles, which gives backs running lanes. Aguirre will jump at hesitation routes.
  • Plays too high when trying to set the edge. His motor is inconsistent.
  • As a pass rusher, Aguirre lacks the ideal length to consistently win off the edge, even if he manages to improve his at-times sloppy hand usage.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
