Top 5 Edge Prospects Featured

*Arden Key - Edge - LSU at No. 21 Florida | 3:30 p.m. | CBS

NCAA Football: Citrus Bowl-Louisiana State vs Louisville
Arden Key
Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

*Arden Key, No. 49 - LSU
Height: 6'6" | Weight: 255 | Age: 21
40 time: 4.74

Arden Key is a dynamic playmaker bringing a perfect blend of size, length, fluidity, speed, agility, and athleticism. He is explosive with a terrific first-step flying off the edge with excellent flexibility, elite quickness, burst, bendability, great balance, and acceleration with insane closing speed. Key wins with pure athleticism easily changing directions beating opponents with elite athleticism and speed, but when he flashes technique in concert with his athleticism, he becomes a dominant force wreaking havoc all over the field.

One area of concern with Key is he left the LSU football program for roughly four months taking a leave of absence for “personal reasons”. Along with shoulder surgery in the offseason and bulking up to become more powerful in taking on front-side blocks, Key has been hampered this season trying to get back into game shape after missing eight months of football activity. Nevertheless, when he’s on top of his game, Key is an elite talent with excellent physical traits and superior athleticism who plays the game with intense passion.

Harold Landry - Edge - Virginia Tech at Boston College | 7:15 p.m. | ESPN2

Harold Landry, No. 7 - Boston College

He displays excellent burst off the edge winning with speed, agility, and great technique in concert with his athleticism to quickly engage, bend, and dip his shoulder getting underneath blockers flattening out with nice balance and body control finishing and closing hitting with explosive power behind his pads. Tremendously skilled converting speed into power, Landry wins flying and flattening off the edge and taking advantage of his elite Gumby-like bendability and impressive inside moves.

*Dorance Armstrong Jr., No. 2 - Kansas
Height: 6'4" | Weight: 246
40 time: 4.74

Dorance Armstrong Jr. is an amazing pass rush specialist with excellent suddenness, explosion, and playmaking ability. With an impressive first-step, Armstrong erupts off the edge displaying tremendous quickness and closing speed with terrific bend off the edge. He takes advantage of his length (long arms), short area quickness, agility, flexibility, power, and athleticism. Although strength will need to improve at the next level, Armstrong does a decent job utilizing hand technique with a solid pop at the point of attack (needs more consistency to disengage), and is quick to transition into his pass rush moves with smoothness winning with nice speed, change of direction skills, athleticism, and a nose for the football.
