2023 Senior Bowl Scouting: Adetomiwa Adebawore, Northwestern

2023 Senior Bowl Watchlist Scouting Notes: EDGE Adetomiwa Adebawore, Northwestern

The lone Northwestern player to make the Senior Bowl watchlist, Adetomiwa Adebawore’s length stands out immediately on tape. While he’s not incredibly tall, his arms are very long for his size, and he uses those arms very well to his advantage. Adebawore is an athletic freak, and his lack of height can be an advantage as he works lower than most blockers are accustomed to working.

HT: 6015
WT: 265
Year: Super Junior
High School: North Kansas City (Kansas City, MO)
Rating: 3-star (0.8485)

Adetomiwa Adabewore scouting notes

Pros:

  • Very good athlete for the position. Has a decent speed rush that can be a handful to work against.
  • Very solid lateral quickness.
  • Very good first step. 
  • Explosive athlete. Plays with solid explosion. 
  • Very strong upper body. Does a good job handling contact from any side. 
  • Good balance to pull off a variety of moves. 
  • Strong tackling ability. Wraps up well and brings down the ball carrier with his weight. 
  • Good motor. Plays through the whistle with high intensity. 
  • Very consistent on a play-to-play basis. 

Cons:

  • Hand usage still isn’t ideal. 
  • Get’s his hands to the right spot, just doesn’t know how to use them to get off of the block effectively. 
  • Is currently sitting in a “tweener” position, will have to either add weight or subtract weight to commit to a specific position.
