Draft Scouting Report

Rating: 67.60 (Practice squad)

Pro Comparison: D.J. Jones

Summary

Cam Horsley is a compact, stocky defensive tackle with impressive length and a hybrid playstyle, blending nose tackle size with 3-technique mobility. He brings surprising power at the point of attack and flashes explosive, fluid movement for his size. His bull rush is a legitimate weapon, and while not a pure burst player, his strength and initial quickness allow him to create penetration. Horsley plays with relentless hustle and has a well-developed swim move, showing effectiveness on twists with lateral quickness that belies his frame. Though he can be too high in his pass rush and lacks consistent counters, his conditioning may contribute to this. Against the run, he shows solid awareness but could better utilize his length and stack-and-shed ability. While he can get moved off his spot, he anchors well against double teams. Overall, Horsley is an active, high-motor interior lineman with pass-rush upside who fits best as a rotational defensive tackle.
