Scouting Report: Summary
For three years, LB Noah Sewell has been one of Oregon's defensive leaders. He's big, athletic, and has experience playing a variety of positions, though he's been out more often at center linebacker. Sewell's problems include technical lapses at tackle and not being the best at reading his opponent's actions in the takeout game. He can play personal against tight ends, but he looks better in zone defense or as a blitzer. His productivity declined markedly in his final year at Oregon, and he will be a third-round pick in the draft.
