Donovan Ezeiruaku was named the ACC Defenseive Player of the Year in 2024 and won the Ted Hendricks Award for the nation’s top defensive end.
Ezeiruaku was long arms and is seen as a plus athlete, testing well at the combine.
The edge rusher was projected by many to be a first-round pick in this year’s draft.
Ezeiruaku piled up 16.5 sacks in 12 games for Boston College in 2024. He also forced three fumbles.
The edge rusher wins with speed, but scouts are concerned about his ability to win with strength at the next level due to his slight frame.
Some scouts believe Ezeiruaku will not be an every down pass rusher in his rookie year.
