Shakir Soto brings NFL-sized power and long-term Pitt production
In the 2016 season, Shakir Soto was a 6-3, 290-pound senior defensive lineman for Pitt with the kind of frame and leverage that can wreck run games and collapse pockets. He entered college as a highly regarded Pennsylvania prospect and built a reputation as a high-motor, physical interior presence with real sack production at the prep level and steady development at Pitt. His best fit is a scheme that values length, toughness, and disciplined gap play—he looks like a tone-setter more than a highlight-chasing star.
