Beyty Diouf

Beyty Diouf is a physical, high-motor linebacker who consistently finds his way to the football. His biggest strength is his ability to tackle and finish plays. Diouf rarely hesitates when he has an opportunity to make a stop, showing confidence and physicality at the point of contact. He plays extremely well inside the box, takes solid pursuit angles, and is constantly running to the football even when the play initially goes away from him.

His pursuit and read-and-react ability stand out on film. Diouf has a natural nose for the football and does a good job diagnosing plays, triggering downhill, and putting himself in position to make tackles. He is willing to take on contact in the run game and shows the ability to work through traffic and blocks to get involved in the play. His effort allows him to consistently show up around the ball.

Diouf projects as a dependable run defender whose physicality, tackling ability, pursuit, and motor can make him a strong presence in the middle of a defense. Continued development in his overall movement, closing burst, and ability to operate in coverage and open space will help make him a more complete linebacker. His willingness to run, pursue, and finish gives him a strong foundation to continue developing at the position.
