Summary

Caden Curry broke out for the Buckeyes last fall in his first year as a starter, totaling 11 sacks as their most consistent defensive lineman. He’s a steady difference-maker against both the run and pass. The question is whether his traits translate to the NFL. His length and explosiveness are below average for the position, which is concerning at a traits-driven spot like defensive end.

About

2025: Third-team All-American
2025: 11.0 sacks (tied for ninth-most in FBS)

Strengths

Agile big man; foot quickness to reach the edges of tackles.
Sinks into contact and maintains leverage.
Skilled hand usage and placement.

Weaknesses

Lack of length shows up; tackles can get into his pads.
Doesn’t threaten the corner with burst.
Not an athlete to play in space and doesn’t have the size to consistently rush inside.
