David Abiara brings NFL-style frame and closing burst to SMU’s edge rotation
Abiara is a long, thick-framed edge defender whose best traits are straight-line closing speed, functional strength, and the ability to set a physical tone when he gets moving. In limited SMU action, his production has been modest, but that reflects a rotational role more than a lack of upside; evaluators note real NFL traits in his build, length, and tackle power. He looks like a fit for teams that want a developmental DE with pro-level tools, high motor potential, and room to grow into a bigger impact role.
