Jayson Oweh EDGE, Penn State

The SEC lost five of their top-six pass rushers to the 2020 NFL Draft, and there are several teams looking to reload at that position. Oweh is an EDGE who is just now coming into his own as someone who can bend off the edge and use his hands to get past offensive tackles.

While the SEC has always been a run-first conference, recent mentality shifts by LSU and Alabama may force teams to adapt their roster. Better pass rushers mean less stress on your defensive backs and that is going to be huge for anyone playing those teams or someone like Mississippi State who just went out and signed Mike Leach to bring them into the 21st century.

Oweh is raw, but there is clearly talent there and of the themes, you will see here is that better coaching and raw talent are a perfect fit in the SEC. With the opportunity that these prospects have, you could see some exponential growth in their play and their draft grades.
