AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
 Explosion
 Quickness off Ball
 Techniques and Moves
Fantastic size for a defensive end, he played tight end also as a junior. At times he stands straight up on the snap and that causes him to lose any chance of beating the block. Uses his long arms to get to the ball carrier and can control his side when he stays low. Right now uses virtually now pass rush technique or moves. Raw prospect with upside.


Biography:
Joseph Okafor says he can bench 315-pounds, squat 405 and has a 32-inch vertical jump.

Okafor plans on majoring in sports management and reports a 2.3 core GPA and will be taking the SAT for the first time this fall.

Okafor: ā€œI’m a good pass rusher. I have good quickness for my size and I just have a lot of natural ability.

ā€œI want to work on staying low and improve my hip flexibility.ā€
