Scouting Report: Strengths
- Fast in a straight line. Excellent wide and .bull rushes when he's first off the snap.
- Elite athletic skills -- Made Bruce Feldman's 2023 'Freaks List' at number 26. He wrote: "another year at FSU has enabled him to continue to develop, both physically and in his on-field skill set. At 6-3 1/2, 260 pounds, Verse power-cleans 360 pounds, squats 555 and benches 455, but he also has excellent burst, running 21.14 MPH in a game with a max acceleration of 5.85m/s with a max deceleration of -6.98m/s."
- Showed initial quickness and good flexibility to dip and bend. Verse has active hands and suddenness to his movements, demonstrating the ability to counter inside.
- Tremendous explosion; accelerates low with power. Relentless blindside pursuit; tracks down ballcarriers across the field.
- He explodes off the line of scrimmage, playing with a low pad level and violent hands. He converts speed to power effectively enough to put an offensive lineman into the QB’s lap.
- He combines good length and initial quickness, showing the burst to win early in the down as a pass rusher.
- With a powerful lower body and the ability to hold up at the point of attack as a run defender, Verse is remarkably instinctive.
- Verse has the classic frame and long arms with some explosion, power and ability to close.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’ll need to add weight in order to play with a better anchor, but he’ll potentially be sacrificing athleticism and speed if Verse does.
- He may struggle at the point of attack without putting on more weight. As a pass rusher, he lacks the elite length to ward off blockers and too often allows linemen to get into his chest.
