Eddie Walls III brings Big 12-level pass-rush pop to Houston’s front
In 2025, Eddie Walls III was one of Houston’s most disruptive defenders, earning All-Big 12 Second Team honors after starting all 13 games and leading the Cougars with 11.5 tackles for loss and 7.0 sacks, plus nine quarterback hurries. His calling card is edge pressure: he pairs a 6-4, 250-pound frame with good burst, strong power-move ability, and enough pursuit range to finish plays. He is a fit for teams that want a high-motor, production-backed DL who can win on the edge and create negative plays, though his missed-tackle rate suggests there is still room to clean up consistency.
