My theory for DWP's 3-star rating may be because there is no category on the recruiting services for a true, over-the-center, both-A-gap-responsibility Nose Tackle in 5-2 and 3-4 front alignments. He is being rated as an 3-technique, outside-the-OGs-shoulder defensive tackle instead of a immovable fire hydrant that requires multiple blockers on a run play. Against DTs that have more agility and ability to break their block in a pass-rush, he may rate lower.
