Udoka Ezeani brings verified pass-rush juice and tackling range to the front seven
Ezeani’s appeal is his disruption: in the 2025 season at UTEP, he started all 12 games and posted 46 tackles, 11.0 tackles for loss, 5.0 sacks and 2 forced fumbles, earning Honorable Mention All-CUSA.[4] Earlier in 2025, UTEP also listed him with 52 tackles, 4.5 TFLs, a sack and an interception, underscoring a player who can make plays in space and affect the quarterback.[17] With EA SPORTS ratings that emphasize pursuit, play recognition and hit power, he profiles as an aggressive, high-motor defender who fits best in a scheme that wants linebacker production, not just linebacker size.[5]
