Summary
Eugene Asante is a compact, well-built off-ball linebacker with impressive speed and twitchiness. His athleticism stands out as he flies around the field, attacking the line of scrimmage aggressively, especially in run defense. This aggression leads to splash plays but can also result in misreads, leaving him out of position on misdirections and play-action. Asante’s quickness makes him an effective QB spy and a disruptive blitzer, leveraging his speed and tenacity to close gaps quickly. As a tackler, he delivers a punch, though his reckless style and short arms can hinder clean wraps.
In coverage, Asante is adequate but lacks refinement. He sinks into zone well and covers his assignments, though his ball skills and awareness need development. While his speed and athleticism offer upside in coverage, his instincts require improvement. Though raw in passing situations, Asante’s speed, range and tackling ability make him an intriguing prospect, likely best suited for a specialist role, especially as a spy or blitzing linebacker.
