Sammy Omosigho LB Oklahoma |
NFL Draft Profile & Scouting Report

Scouting Report: Weaknesses

• Saw rotation snaps, leaving a smaller body of work
• More athletic than anticipatory in coverage right now
• Limited backfield disruption despite the rare closing speed
• Production scaled with snaps rather than featured volume
• Will need to prove the role expands to every-down work

Scouting Report: Summary

Omosigho is a track-fast off-ball linebacker whose stout against the run and whose tackle finish was the cleanest in this group, with a single miss on the year. In a rotation role he sacked Michigan while flashing blitz value, and the rare speed shows up chasing plays to the perimeter. He earned a Butkus Award watch-list nod, and the per-snap production points to a player whose role should grow with opportunity.

The holdups are usage and coverage. He played a rotation role so the body of work is smaller, his coverage is ordinary and more athletic than anticipatory, and his pass-rush production is modest despite the speed. His production scaled with snaps rather than featured volume, and he will need to prove the role expands to every-down work. He is a speed-and-finish bet whose pass-defense reps have to develop.

Cast him as a run-down and special-teams linebacker with coverage upside tied to his speed, a developmental piece who could grow into more with snaps. The ordinary coverage and the smaller sample keep the grade modest, but the rare speed and clean finish are real. He grades as a Day 3 linebacker on traits and special-teams value, now on his final eligibility at a new program, where a featured role would let the rare speed show on every down.
