As a sophomore for the Bulldogs in 2019 Lovett played in 13 games and took part in 490 snaps for the Bulldogs. He recorded 14 tackles, 6 assists, while adding 12 stops. As a pass rusher, he chalked up 10 total pressures, and 7 QB hurries, one QB hit, and 2 sacks during the year.

After season's end Lovett transferred to Florida State where as a junior for the Seminoles in 2020 Lovett played in 8 games and played 287 snaps for the Seminoles. He recorded only 9 tackles, 3 assists while making 8 stops. As a pass rusher, he produced 9 total pressures, which included 8 QB hurries, no QB hits, and one sack on the year.

Scouting Report: Strengths
  • A technician with a high motor, Lovett has a variety of moves and displays exceptionally good hand use. Lovett shows a strong finishing burst and has the power to hold at the point of attack as a run defender.
  • Shows a natural feel for setting up blockers and getting them off-balance. His hands are active and violent, and he quickly disengages with blockers and counters when his initial move stalls.
  • Strength gives ends a chance to twist inside and linebackers free lane to the passer on blitzes.
  • He has heavy hands and uses them aggressively, rocking offensive linemen back. He shows the ability to disengage and out-grapple blockers in a phone booth.
  • He’s quick to react and locate the ball, and he shows enough speed to succeed in backside pursuit. Lovett plays with excellent balance and a strong, flexible core, rarely ending up on the ground.
  • Good strength and balance to sit down, lock-out and create a pile, leading to possibilities inside and out (in the 3-4).
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • While he’s a decent lateral mover, Lovett doesn’t show great closing speed when he has to chase in pursuit.
  • Lacks closing speed and inconsistent quickness off the snap prevents him from being an elite pass rusher.
  • Misses tackles, even when he gets his hands on the ballcarrier. Needs to improve hand placement and technique.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
