Former Charlotte pass-rush standout now proving he can disrupt from the edge
Highsmith is worth caring about because he brings a polished, effort-heavy edge game built on speed, leverage, and relentless pursuit rather than pure size, and he has already translated that profile into NFL production after starring at Charlotte. His calling card is pass-rush pressure and consistent motor, which makes him a strong fit for teams that value disciplined, high-IQ defenders who can win with technique and intensity. The main context: he is no longer a college player, so if you meant his Charlotte days, his standout trait was being an undervalued, high-energy disruptor with real developmental upside.
