Long, disruptive SMU edge with real pass-rush bite
In the 2023 season, Je'lin Samuels flashed as a rotational edge for SMU, posting 11 tackles, 1.5 sacks, a pass breakup, and three quarterback hits in 13 games; in the 2022 season, he logged 13 tackles, four tackles for loss, and three sacks across nine games. At 6-foot-7 and about 241 pounds, he brings rare length, a big frame, and the kind of edge presence that can wreck throwing lanes and keep tackles honest. He looks like a fit for teams that value upside, power, and a developmental pass rusher with real twitch.
