David Nwabuoku brings an NFL-chasing motor and disruptive upside off the edge
Nwabuoku enters UTRGV as a freshman edge defender with real eye-catching high school production: in his senior season at Plano Senior, he posted 103 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, 32 quarterback pressures, and 6 sacks. He looks like a high-effort, physical DE who can live in the backfield and fit a program that values relentless pressure and toughness. The fit is intriguing because he already has a strong production profile and a clear stated goal of reaching the NFL, though his college résumé is still early, so the long-term ceiling is the real story here.
