Both Texas Defensive Tackles T'Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy II are AP All-American (First and Third teams respectively). LSU's Maason Smith was the Number 1 ranked HS recruit in 2021 all kinds of talent but a ACL in 2022 ruined that year and slowed down this one. He's also playing alot of Gap Control Nose Tackle. Leonard Taylor is another 5 star guy he's more of a 3T and like Myles Murphy when he starts using his hands more pass rushing he is going to be a real problem. Bengals like tweeners and that describes Brandon Dorlus perfectly same mold as Cam Sample and Zac Carter. Clemson is starting to become a go to program for the Bengals Murphy's 2022 teammate Ruke Orhorhoro might end up high on their board.
List of Nose Tackles:
T'Vondre Sweat
Maason Smith
McKinnley Jackson
Nazir Stackhouse
Fabien Lovett
Tyleik Williams (more of a penetrating A gap defender without the gap control)
Williams is going to need to go to a 1-gap scheme to have success at the NFL level. Guy simply doesn't have the length to be a 2-gap NT. He's probably going to plummet just because of lack of scheme fits.
