A bendy, get-off-driven edge who led the ACC in sacks in his first FBS season and looks the part at 6-5, 260. Abou Jaoude posted 10.5 sacks and a forced fumble across 12 games in 2025, exploding onto Day 1-2 boards after building the trait at Delaware (6.5 sacks in 2024); the corner-flattening bend and first-step quickness are real, and the production leap held up against Power-conference tackles. I am grading carefully on purpose: this is one proven FBS season, his FCS years do not show on this tape, and one-year edge breakouts carry meaningful bust risk, so I want the pressure rate to repeat before treating the sack number as a baseline. He re-signed to lead the UNC front in 2026, and if it holds he is the best pro prospect the program has produced in cycles. Projects as a Day 2-or-better edge, with the single-season sample the only thing keeping the grade measured.
