Draft Profile: Bio
A five-star by 247Sports and the top edge in the 2023 class out of powerhouse St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, Womack was a top-15 national recruit who totaled 26 tackles for loss and fifteen sacks as a senior before signing with LSU. He played two seasons in Baton Rouge before transferring to Ole Miss for 2025.In his lone year with the Rebels, Womack recorded three sacks, nineteen pressures and a forced fumble across fifteen games, adding fifteen run stops. He flashed five run stops in an early game against Georgia State, showing the burst and frame that made him a blue-chip recruit, then re-entered the transfer portal after the season in search of a third school and a fuller breakout. The five-star pedigree and the burst off the edge keep the projection alive, even with the pass-rush production still chasing the recruiting billing across two programs.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Elite edge speed, winning the corner before tackles can slide
- Stout against the run as a stout edge-setter
- Stoned Georgia State for five run stops in one game
- Brought down the quarterback at South Carolina on a speed rush
- Stripped a fumble against Mississippi State while adding a sack
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Snap count stayed low, a rotational role behind veteran starters
- The pass rush trails the burst, with thin pressure production
- Counters are early-stage when the first move gets handled
- Production has never matched the four-star recruiting billing
- Slight at 260 pounds against power on early downs
Scouting Report: Summary
Womack is an explosive edge whose first-step speed wins the corner before tackles can slide, and whose 2025 tape leaned on a run defense that made him a stout edge-setter in a rotational role. He stoned Georgia State for five run stops, brought down the quarterback at South Carolina on a speed rush, and stripped a fumble against Mississippi State while adding a sack. The athleticism is real, and the run-game reliability is further along than the pass-rush production.The holdups are role and refinement. His snap count stayed low behind veteran starters, his pass rush trails the burst with thin pressure totals, and his counters are early-stage when the first move gets handled. The production has never quite matched his four-star billing, and at 260 pounds he can be displaced by power on early downs. He is a flashes-and-traits player whose game needs reps and a deeper plan to round out.
The upside play is the speed and the run-defense base, an ascending edge who could pop with a featured role and a developed rush plan. The thin production and the frame keep the grade in the Day 3 range, but the athletic ceiling and the edge-setting are worth chasing. With a move to a new program for a bigger role, he projects as a developmental edge with rotational upside.
