Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Brule plays bigger than his listed size, with the functional strength and motor to take on and hold ground against much bigger blockers.
  • He has a compact build, but Brule is a crafty edge player who is very good against the run. He sets the edge and effectively wards off blocks with a strong core, powerful limbs, and natural leverage.
  • A bit stiff but makes the clean open-field tackle. Good effort in pursuit.
  • Brule can be used as a rangy run defender inside, instinctive when it comes to locating the ball with the quickness to get to it before blockers can react at the second level.
  • Reads the quarterback to anticipate and is a candidate to play outside.
  • An aggressive run defender, filling run lanes hard, and won't shy from contact. Plays with violence to fight off blocks, flashing a physical nature. An intense, powerful hitter who willingly gives up his body.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Easily washed out of plays and loses track of the ball. Runs around blocks and struggles to break away once blockers have a hold on him.
  • He’ll get pushed around at the point of attack.
  • Attacks the line but needs work on stacking and shedding blocks.
