Tape Breakdown

It’s solely becoming that the person who received the Jim Leonard Award in highschool dedicated to the college the place the namesake coached. Hunter Wohler selected Wisconsin over a ton of different big-time packages to grow to be a two-year starter for the Badgers.

Wohler brings measurement and is aware of tips on how to use it. He’s a bodily hitter and intense participant who stuffs the run and throws his physique round. He doesn’t shrink back from contact in any scenario. Not over the center or alongside the sideline.

He’s bought good instincts credited to a robust work ethic and keys the play properly. Wohler wore a ton of hats for the Badgers enjoying within the field, over slot, publish security, center gap runner in Cowl 2, and even just a little nook. He was aggressive and aggressive in man protection, capable of play the ball and play clear with simply three profession penalties, one in every of the final three seasons.

Negatively, he has common to below-average foot velocity mirrored in his excessive 4.5’s 40-time. Good angles and keys assist make up for that, however when dealing with true velocity, he struggles to shut. Alabama QB Jalen Milroe persistently beat him to the sting.

Whereas Wohler was a sort out machine, he wasn’t a high-impact participant. Zero interceptions, compelled fumbles, and only one sort out for a loss as a senior is underwhelming for a man who has good total tape. A few of that’s random and just a little fortunate, however he’s unlikely to all of the sudden grow to be a splash-play security on the NFL degree.

Conclusion

Total, Hunter Wohler had a superb school profession. He hits arduous, tackles properly, reads the sphere successfully, and assist up in protection. His athleticism holds him again however there’s few different areas of his sport to knock, although admittedly, that’s an enormous one.

He matches greatest as a field security and run stopper on the subsequent degree with beginning capacity. Failing that, he might match properly as a chess piece as a sixth defensive again in dime. My NFL comp is Steelers’ sturdy security DeShon Elliott.
