Stryker Sulak SELECTED BY: Raiders Round 6 (26)

SI Grade 3.46 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Full-time starter the past two seasons after seeing sporadic playing time with the first team as a freshman and sophomore. Totals last season included 55/15.5/10.5 after 60/11/6 as a junior. All-Conference selection the past two seasons.

POSITIVES: Athletic defensive front seven prospect with ability as a defensive end or rush linebacker. Plays with good lean, effectively uses his hands to protect himself, and rarely off his feet. Quickly gets off the snap with a nice first step, good speed off the edge, and can bend or pursue from the back side. Physical, likes to mix it up, and finds a way to be a disruptive force. Strings plays out laterally.

NEGATIVES: Controlled at the point of attack by single blocker. Lacks the natural bulk to be a defensive end, and may struggle against the run.

ANALYSIS: Sulak is a disciplined defender who plays with an aggressive attitude. Best up the field, he has definite possibilities standing up over right tackle in a 3-4 alignment, and he could develop into a starter at the next level if he displays the ability to play in pass coverage.

PROJECTION: Fourth/Fifth Round
