Germaine Pratt | LB | North Carolina State
Height | 6-3
Weight | 240
Class | Senior
The heart and soul in North Carolina State’s 4-2-5 scheme, Pratt made the transition from safety to linebacker in 2018. He led the Wolfpack in tackles as a senior with 105, but also finished No. 1 in the ACC with 9.5 tackles per game.
Pratt has the size you’d like in a modern-day linebacker at 6-foot-3 and 240 pounds. He jumps off the screen with his sideline-to-sideline speed and twitchy movement skills. His plus ability as a blitzer, run defender and skills as a former safety show up in coverage. There are areas that he will need to work on including cleaning up his overaggressive nature with his play style and take-on skills as a blocker.
Pratt already carries himself well on the field, possessing the leadership role teams covet. Although not elite in any one area on the field, he is very well-rounded with the scheme-diverse skill-set.
Overall, Pratt best projects as an outside linebacker who has the size, movement skills and physical mindset, who wins working sideline-to-sideline to defend the run, and has the speed to cover skill players.
