Film Notes and Highlights
Ruke Orhorhoro is an athletic DT prospect who plays smaller than his 6-foot-4 frame would suggest. He has strong hands that help him get off blocks, and a good first step that helps him win laterally as well. You’d like to see some better performances against the run, but his versatility is a huge boost to his profile. Whether it’s as a NT or Edge, Orhorhoro had success at every position; however, he seems raw at times, looking to win based on his athleticism rather than technique. – Thomas Christopher
