Noah Arinze brings NFL-sized edge-setting and pressure upside to Coastal Carolina
In the 2025 season, Coastal Carolina DE Noah Arinze flashed as a disruptive senior, earning Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week after a two-sack outing and finishing with 37 tackles, 6.0 tackles for loss, and 2.0 sacks across 13 games[4][8]. At 6-foot-6 and 265 pounds, he looks like the classic long, powerful edge who can collapse pockets, force strip-sack chaos, and hold up as a run defender[1][7]. The buzz is real enough that he drew an NFL rookie minicamp opportunity with the Chiefs, which is a pretty good sign teams see rotational-pro to developmental-starter traits[8].
