Tyrice Knight's Strengths from the Athletic
SUMMARY: A three-year starter at UTEP, Knight moved inside to Mike linebacker in 2023 in defensive coordinator Bradley Dale Peveto’s 4-2-5 base scheme. After
two years at the juco level, he was a tackling machine over his four seasons in El Paso and finished No. 1 in the FBS in solo tackles (84) and No. 4 in total tackles per
game (11.7) as a senior in 2023. For a player with average speed, Knight makes a lot of tackles both inside and outside the numbers because of his reaction quickness,
closing burst and motor (his model didn’t come with cruise control). Trusting his eyes, he triggers without wasting steps and attacks with purpose (15.5 tackles for
loss in 2023), but his lack of functional take-on skills will be tougher to mask versus NFL talent. Overall, Knight has some coverage limitations, but he is a rabid dog
against the run, with the instincts and play personality that directly led to production. He has rosterable talent at the next level and is looking to become UTEP’s
first defensive draft pick since 2008 (Quintin Demps).

Same thing for AJ Barner
SUMMARY: A one-year starter at Michigan, Barner was a versatile tight end in offensive coordinator Sherrone Moore’s pro-style scheme (60.0 percent inline, 24.8 percent slot and 15.2 percent wide). Lightly recruited out of high school (mostly as a defensive player), he wasn’t a high-volume pass catcher in college (had fewer than 30 receiving yards in 14 of 15 games in 2023), but it feels like there is more meat on that bone. With his acceleration into his routes, Barner can poke holes in zones and appears comfortable catching the ball outside his frame (see 2023 Michigan State tape). As a blocker, he lacks desired mass and sustain strength, but he creates a surge at the point of attack and shows the balance to be an effective backside puller. Overall, Barner is lighter than ideal to be an every-down Y tight end and doesn’t have the resume of a playmaking receiver, but he is a solid athlete with pass-catching upside and the play personality to handle run-blocking duties. He can provide depth on an NFL roster as a flex tight end.
