The 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, and so is your need to be prepared for all of tomorrow’s stars. Dive into our spotlight on Nic Scourton, featuring his scouting report, strengths and weaknesses, his recent draft projection, and where all the experts predict he could land.
Nic Scourton’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Nic Scourton might be the most aesthetically pleasing pass rusher in the class. He’s wise beyond his years regarding his arsenal of rush moves, and his well-developed frame is NFL-ready despite only being 20 years old. Unfortunately, gaining unnecessary weight for the 2024 season likely hurt his NFL Draft stock.
At a more “natural” weight of around 265 pounds, Scourton would still offer a steady base as an edge setter while improving his initial get-off and bend. That bend at his density is a thing to behold. His ankles allow him to run under the table, and his hips hinge smoothly to soften rush angles while his hands dissect blocks through the outside shoulder.
If he becomes more consistent as a run defender, Scourton could be one of the league’s best dual-threat EDGE defenders. His fluidity and manipulative nature as he closes the gap on blockers makes him potent on both outside rushes and inside counters, and he’s a prime candidate to move about the formation on obvious passing downs to find matchups to exploit.
Nic Scourton’s NFL Draft Projection
In CSN’s 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft from April 12, Scourton landed in Round 1 with the 27th pick to the Green Bay Packers. James Fragoza has this to say:
The Ravens may not face any glaring issues, but injecting youth along the defensive line remains a top priority. At just 19, Nic Scourton’s lethal spin move and breakout potential should see him hitting the ground running in the NFL.
And in CSN’s recent 3-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Brian Burden had this to say about Scourton landing in the second round to the Tennessee Titans:
Scourton’s numbers dipped a bit for the Aggies after transferring from Purdue, but he has the body and the motor to succeed right away for the Titans. Consistency is the key. He has a quality stable of moves that he can use inside and outside. It’s simply a matter of how creative he gets within the scheme.
