John Henry Daley
The winding road finally produced a wrecking ball. Six years after a 22-sack senior season at Lone Peak, Daley got his first full runway at Utah and detonated: 11.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and 48 tackles in 11 games, finishing as PFF's No. 2 returning edge in the country before the move to Michigan. The production density is what sells — he went from four career games and one sack entering 2025 to one of the sport's most disruptive fronts-men in a single autumn. However, that is precisely the doubt: the resume is exactly one season deep, he'll be an older rookie after the BYU-to-Utah detour, and his Ann Arbor offseason has been a health watch, with the program managing his return to full speed. If the 2025 version shows up intact, the Round 1 consensus holds; this grade banks on that version being the real one, not the outlier.
