Honors & awards

- 2021 Butkus Award semifinalist

Scouting Report: Strengths
- He's got elite speed 4.56 in the forty for a linebacker - able to easily stay with tight ends on deeper routes and able to track running backs sideline to sideline laterally
- Outstanding change of direction skills combined with impressive acceleration allowing him to shoot gaps
- Has the frame to add more weight
- He has the overall athleticism to hold up in space when dropping into coverage.
- Has the dynamic athleticism to be a force on the edge. He’s a fluid mover with bend-and-dip flexibility as a pass rusher, and Overshown uses his long arms to ward off blockers.
- He combines good length and initial quickness, showing the burst to win early in the down as a pass rusher.
- Overshown has violent hands and consistently breaks away and disengages from blockers. He’s instinctive, reading, reacting, and locating the ball quickly, and finishing plays as a solid, wrap-up tackler.
- Has the fluid hips and long arms to turn and run with tight ends, as well as excellent range when dropping into zone coverage.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Not instinctive reacting to RPO plays leaving him late to the POA
- Not as good in coverage as you would expect given his history as a safety/corner - over the past two years his QB rating when targetted has averaged around a distinctly unimpressive a 100
- As a blitzer his technique is very raw- and is forced to rely on speed alone to get to the quarterback
- Size is currently a big problem. Overshown doesn’t have much in the way of take-on skills, struggling to shed once blockers get into his body, and a relative lack of upper-body strength.
- Struggles to slip blocks- doesn't have the power as shedder - he’ll need to be covered up in order to make plays.
- Overshown has take-on skills but is probably better off getting covered up in order to maximize his range.
Scouting Report: Summary
DeMarvion Overshown was a high school standout and former top-ranked recruit as a defensive back. He made a change to linebacker halfway through college and has been productive as a result. He possesses elite speed, is explosive, and displays a relentless motor, he however is small for the position and struggles to shed blockers, and can be overpowered in the power run game.The main concern with Overshown is his supposed major upside - his skills in coverage due to his experience as a safety. These coverage skills are good but are far from elite as shown by his poor QB rating when targeted since making the position change, and as a result, probably can't compensate for his lack in other areas of the game.
Overshown will likely be selected around the fourth or fifth round of the 2023 NFL draft, however, may be overdrafted due to his name recognition and potential given his athletic profile.
