Top 5 edge rushers in college football for 2018

Ohio State v Nebraska

2. Rashan Gary, Michigan

Michigan v Penn State

Similar to Bosa, the expectations for Rashan Gary as a number one overall recruit were sky-high and he is starting to live up to them. As a freshman, he already had a significant role, but last year as a full-time starter he turned into a monster for the Wolverines.

Standing at 6’5”, 285 pounds Gary is an athletic freak with the burst, power and balance to cause offensive linemen in the Big 10 nightmares. The Michigan D-lineman is a little slow off the snap, but explosive in his get-off, displays violent hands and a good pull to complement it.

The coaches involved him in a lot of twists and lined him on interior plenty. Gary is far from fulfilling his potential as he heavily relies on his physical gifts rather than technique, which is limited to bull-rushing and the chop-rip. It’ll be interesting to see how he improves in that department and what he can do without Maurice Hurst doing the dirty work on the inside.
