Alex Highsmith, EDGE, Charlotte
Post Combine
I was talking to a scout today and asked him what player was his biggest sleeper and he said Alex Highsmith the pass rusher from UNC-Charlotte. He said do not be surprised if you hear his name 2nd round.

Highsmith shows active hands in the trenches with a bevy of pass rush moves to get to the QB. Can play in a 3-4 or 4-3 scheme and shows his high motor with his hand in the dirt or in a stand up position. @Ourlads_Shonka #NFLDraft #NFLTwitter #Hiddengems #edgerusher pic.twitter.com/zyVoPejQdF

6. #Charlotte DL/LB Alex Highsmith quietly had a heck of a week. A former walk-on, this moment meant a bit more to him and he relished in it. His hunger was shown during on-field drills and his Figure 8 was great. He’s most likely a 3-4 OLB in the right scheme.
Alex Highsmith is a DE prospect in the 2020 draft class out of Charlotte.

He posted a great #RAS with poor size, great speed, great explosiveness, good agility at the DE position.https://t.co/KKO7GTL4Uh pic.twitter.com/WEk7JNwNAz
