The tape isn't consistent, but here's the appeal & upside of a player like Clemson DT Bryan Bresee
Size/frame, very quick off the LOS, swift hands as PR
Notre Dame tape was rough, but his impact against Wake Forest is evident
Should have an eval on him soon @Patricia_Traina pic.twitter.com/Dykld34FXe

The 6'5", 305-pound Bryan Bresee, who B/R grades as DL2 (just behind UGA's Jalen Carter) and a top-10 talent, lined up on the edge with an excellent spin move and pressure on UNC's Drake Maye. pic.twitter.com/wVKAsv6diQ

Bryan Bresee… Insane rep 👀
Slanting back vs OC Gibson’s reach block. Able to post the block with hands (f’n textbook location), redirect feet and squeeze the reach block right into the ground. Wtf pic.twitter.com/7ioGxiIyws
