POSITIVES

— Thick build with long arms and solid movement skills.

— Decent change of direction, hip mobility, speed and use of hands to cover tight ends in man coverage.

— Solid acceleration to close when playing zone.

— Instinctual versus the run to put himself in a position to make tackles.

— Sure tackler who wraps up and breaks down when tackling in space. Doesn't miss much.

NEGATIVES

— Lacks physicality at the point of attack when taking on blocks.

— Not quick enough to make blockers miss as a run defender.

— Will get pushed around by offensive linemen in the running game. Doesn't have the strength to hold his ground.

— Subpar awareness in zone coverage. Will get caught staring in the backfield too long (especially versus running quarterbacks), which leaves threats in his area open.

— Doesn't have much power behind his pads when blitzing or coming downhill.

OVERALL

Trevin Wallace has the potential to become a solid rotational linebacker in the NFL. He has a good frame with little to no bad weight and some impressive length with 33-inch arms. He's also shown decent movement skills to be effective in man coverage.

Additionally, he's shown good instincts overall with quick run-pass transitions against play action and the ability to quickly key and diagnose run plays to put himself in a position to make tackles.

However, Wallace's traits are average at best, and he struggles to take on blocks. He's soft at the point of attack and lacks the strength to hold ground against offensive linemen. He likely will have a similar problem against blocking tight ends in the NFL.

The latter is especially concerning since Wallace is already over 240 pounds, which is big for a modern-day linebacker. He needs to be unblocked to make plays, making him very reliant on his instincts as a run defender.

The Kentucky product has shown enough to get drafted as a late-round pick, but he'll have to make a name for himself on special teams and has a lower ceiling at a linebacker.
