Scouting Reports

[Dam8610]

Lorenzo Carter LB UGA



Strengths: Strong at the point of attack and capable of fighting through blocks to make plays. Plays his assignments well, rarely allows a running lane to develop in his gap, and sets the edge well. Has sideline to sideline range and playmaking ability. Is solid in coverage, has the ability to mirror tight ends and backs in man and plays his assignment well in zone. Uses good handfighting and converts speed to power to keep blockers off of him and make plays near the line of scrimmage or apply pressure to the QB. High effort player who doesn't take plays off and will make plays in pursuit.

Weaknesses: Isn't effective at bending the edge, and is beat if his first move doesn't work. Needs to learn pass rush moves to go with his athleticism to become an effective pass rusher. Plays too high at times and allows himself to get blocked out of the play. Needs to wrap up more consistently as a tackler. Occasionally takes bad angles in pursuit and doesn't put himself in good position to make a play.

Other: Could play 4-3 DE, 3-4 OLB, or 4-3 SLB effectively in the NFL.
