George Selvie DE/OLB 6’4 245 South Florida Jr.

Selvie had a phenomenal freshman season where he totaled 84 tackles, 15 for loss, and 5.5 sacks. That success was nothing compared to his monstrous sophomore campaign. He had 59 tackles, and a nation leader 31.5 for loss, and 14.5 sacks. He was a unanimous All America and Big East Defensive Player of the Year, setting school records with those numbers.

Strengths

Selvie is an absolute beast off the edge. His all around numbers are amazing. Not only does he put up the sack numbers, but he makes plays all over the field. He is a great athlete that truly knows how to get after the passer. He can beat blockers with his quick first step, a bull rush, or with his agility. What is so special about Selvie his is relentlessness on the field. You can find pass rushers with his blend of natural talent, which includes excellent quickness, athleticism, and very good closing speed. But you do not find many who never give up on a play and one who will chase running plays down the line of scrimmage and beyond. He is a pass rusher off the edge, but will also help in the run game. Selvie projects best as a 3-4 OLB but could play a 4-3 end spot with some added weight.

Weaknesses

Weight is the big issue with Selvie. He is a defensive end, but he simply is not big enough to play with his hand down consistently in the NFL. His body would wear down and it would limit his effectiveness. He may not have the body type to support any more weight, but that will not stop him from trying.

Future

Should Selvie declare, he will be one of the most attractive defensive players available. He is more than just a pass rusher, and will give his team a boost with his energy. At his current size he brings more value to 3-4 teams, but any of those teams picking in the top half of the first round will take a long look at George Selvie.
