Eric Joraskie (6-4, 255) DL
It’s really clear from watching Joraskie’s film that the kid just lives and breathes football. He played fullback, tight end, and defensive line for Mount Carmel and looked solid doing them all but he will suit up as a defensive lineman for NU. Joraskie displays a very high motor and refuses to give up on any play. He has the size to be an interior lineman but could also line up on the end. He has great athleticism for a player his size (6-4, 255 pounds). He shows good but not great tackling skills but when he does zero in on the runner, he drives them into the ground. Joraskie dominated small opponents in high school so it will be interesting to see how he handles bigger offensive lineman. He will need to add a little more bulk if he will play in the interior. There’s a possibility for a redshirt year with the defensive line being very deep this year.
