Run-Game Enforcer with Real Edge and Real Juice
In the 2025 season at LSU, Jack Pyburn was a sturdy, high-motor defensive end who started 11 of 12 games and posted 52 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, and 2.0 sacks, with a strong 85.3 run-defense grade that ranked 22nd among qualified FBS edge defenders.[5][6] He looks like the kind of defender coaches trust on early downs: firm at the point of attack, relentless chasing from the backside, and built to make life miserable for run schemes, even if his pass-rush ceiling is more grinder than glamour.[4][6]
