Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Jaylon Allen
Wins the gap play after play. The five seasons at Memphis span two head coaches: Mike Norvell and Ryan Silverfield. All-AAC in 2023 made it two straight seasons on the honors list. One game to point at: 7 tackles and 0.5 sacks against UAB — Week 8, 2023.
Play style
Stout at the point of attack — steady tackle-for-loss production without a standout pass-rush number.

What the box score actually says
41 tackles. 2 passes defended. 0 interceptions. 7 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.
