Jayson Ademilola brings NFL-ready burst and relentless energy to Notre Dame’s defensive front
A former top recruit, Jayson Ademilola has long stood out for his quick first step, active hands, and high-motor, disruptive style at defensive tackle. Notre Dame evaluations and draft scouting reports consistently praised his explosiveness, leverage, and nonstop effort, while also noting that his best work comes when he stays low and attacks gaps. The knock: he’s been more of an impact role player than a dominant stat-sheet monster, so his value is in juice, toughness, and fit — a strong match for a defense that wants an active, penetrating DL.
