Utah DE with Elite Intensity and 2019 Breakout
Malik Haynes, Utah’s #95 Defensive End from Hauula, HI, is a high-intensity, physically driven prospect whose 2019 season (2 solo tackles, 0 sacks) marked his first active collegiate contribution after redshirting in 2017 and playing two years at Ventura College. While his stat line is modest, his differentiator is relentless pressure and a ‘never-sit’ personality that elevates the entire defensive front—traits praised by Utah coaches for his ability to disrupt plays even without recording sacks. He has no known injury history, and his intensity level is consistently rated among the team’s highest. Haynes is a strong fit for teams seeking a DE who brings fire, discipline, and consistent gap control, making him a valuable cultural and tactical asset beyond raw numbers.
