high-upside edge talent stalled by foot injury and stalled reps
Waller remains a **former five-star, explosive edge defender** whose calling card has long been a quick first step, physicality, and disruptive backfield production in high school, but his Auburn career has been limited by a **season-ending foot injury** in 2024 and no game action in 2025.[3][15][16][17] The fit question is straightforward: if you want a high-ceiling linebacker/edge piece with real pass-rush juice and proven recruiting pedigree, he’s intriguing; if you need immediate, durable help, the medical and development risk is still the headline.[3][11][16][17]
