Pitt’s explosive interior disruptor with NFL-caliber pop
In the 2019 season, Jaylen Twyman emerged as one of college football’s best interior pass rushers, finishing with 10.5 sacks and 12 tackles for loss while earning first-team All-ACC and second-team All-America honors. He wins with quickness, burst, and leverage rather than sheer size, which makes him a nightmare to block inside when he’s timing the snap well. The big caution flag is durability and availability: his career has been shaped by a 2021 shooting recovery and an NFL journey after Pitt, so the talent is real, but the health and long-term fit matter just as much.
