Draft Profile: Bio
A defensive end from Florida, Sapp has collected 3.5 sacks and five tackles-for-loss through the 2024 campaign while earning consecutive SEC Academic Honor Roll selections in 2022 and 2023. His latest season included standout performances against Samford (career-high 2.5 TFL, forced fumble) and UCF (five tackles, shared sack).The St. Thomas Aquinas product chose Florida over Alabama and Miami after accumulating over 100 tackles and 21.5 sacks in his prep career. Following a redshirt season in 2021, Sapp appeared in all 13 games in 2022, recording 20 tackles and 0.5 TFL. In 2023, he started 11 games, posting 24 tackles, 2 sacks, and 4.5 TFL while forcing two fumbles.
Through 30 career games at Florida, the 272-pound defensive end has accumulated 64 tackles, 6 sacks, and 10 tackles-for-loss. His 2024 campaign has shown continued development, particularly in backfield production, highlighted by sacks in consecutive games against Power 5 competition.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Plus snap anticipation with natural bend and flexibility to create favorable angles when rushing off the edge
- Heavy hands with shock-and-shed ability to defeat blocks in the run game, consistently winning at the point of attack
- Fluid lateral movement skills with ability to scrape and flow down the line against zone schemes
- Stout anchor against double teams with natural leverage to reset the line of scrimmage
- Developed pass rush toolbox featuring a powerful bull rush and effective cross-chop move
- Processes blocking schemes quickly with efficient pursuit angles to the football
- Scheme versatile frame at 272 pounds with ability to reduce inside on passing downs
- Reliable wrap-up tackler who breaks down in space and finishes consistently through contact
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Limited twitch and burst off the snap restricts ability to threaten the edge with pure speed
- Average pursuit speed shows up in chase situations outside the tackle box
- Counter rush moves need development; relies too heavily on power moves when initial rush stalls
- Production numbers suggest limitations as an impact rusher at the next level
- Pad level rises when working through traffic, compromising leverage advantage
Scouting Report: Summary
The stout defender demonstrates NFL-caliber ability to set the edge and disrupt blocking schemes in the run game. Natural power at the point of attack combined with refined hand usage suggests immediate value as a base end in an even front.While lacking elite bend and burst traits coveted in premium edge rushers, the technical foundation and physical tools translate well to a complementary role in a rotation. The snap anticipation and block recognition skills compensate for athletic limitations.
The anchor strength and ability to reduce inside on passing downs adds scheme versatility, though rush plan diversity needs expansion. Special teams experience and high-motor play style project well to immediate depth contribution while developing as a rotational defender.
