Jabari Ruffin brings disruptive edge traits, but his USC role has been more rotational than featured
Ruffin is a former top California recruit with the size and burst to play on the edge at 6-foot-3, 245 pounds, and USC’s roster notes credit him with 33 career tackles, 1 sack, and 2 forced fumbles, which reflects a player who can create splash plays even in limited snaps.[1][5] He stands out more for physicality and versatility than volume production, having bounced between linebacker and defensive end, and his career has also included suspension and off-field disruption that matter for fit and reliability.[3][4]
