The Breakdown
Austin is exactly what you look for in a one-gap defensive tackle. Quick first step and great pursuit, it’s not a shock to see Austin chasing down stretch plays and screen passes. The big knock on Austin is that his motor runs hot and cold and he’s been known to take plays off. Austin will also possibly miss his senior season from suspension after an NCAA investigation about his involvement with an agent.
