Fast, versatile UCLA linebacker with real coverage upside
Medrano stands out as a highly athletic, rangy linebacker whose speed and coverage ability make him more than a box-score player: he was UCLA’s tackle leader in 2024 with 72 stops, added 11 tackles for loss and two interceptions, and posted a 4.46-second 40-yard dash at the combine, the fastest among linebackers that year.[5] Scouts value his man-coverage movement skills and zone awareness, while the main questions are tackling consistency and block shedding—so he fits best for teams that want a modern, space-defending linebacker with special-teams value and upside.[4][5]
