Rashaud Pernell brings verified pass-rush juice and length to NC A&T’s edge
Pernell is a **6'4", 250-pound** defensive end whose calling card is **burst off the edge** and proven backfield disruption, with high-school production that included **11 sacks and 21 tackles for loss** as a senior and a **No. 17 ranking in Virginia** from 247Sports. NC A&T’s own bio says he has an “amazing ability to rush the passer” and “outstanding quickness,” which matters because his fit is as a pressure creator rather than a just-eat-blocks edge. For a team needing upside and twitch at DE, he looks like a strong developmental fit with real pass-rush traits.[3][7]
