4. Scouting Notes
Background Profile
Clev Lubin’s football path is a story of elite talent navigating a long, resilient journey. Originally a Gatorade New York State Player of the Year as a physical running back and defensive end at Suffern High School, he prep-schooled at USMAPS before landing at Army. After redshirting at West Point, Lubin took the junior college route to Iowa Western CC, dominating the landscape before transferring to Coastal Carolina. Rising to the Power Four challenge at Louisville, Lubin asserted himself as one of the country’s most dangerous pass rushers, leading the ACC with an impressive 64 total quarterback pressures in 2025.
Key Strengths
- Elite Pass-Rush: Boasts elite advanced grades; his 64 quarterback pressures in 2025 registered as the highest single-season mark by a Louisville Cardinal since tracking began in 2014.
- Backfield Disruption: Possesses natural, explosive block-shedding capabilities and high-end play recognition, contributing to a whopping 49 career collegiate tackles for loss (combined JUCO and NCAA).
- Strip-Sack Ability: Exhibits a lethal “punch-out” technique at the apex of his pass-rush arc, accounting for 10 forced fumbles over his combined collegiate career.
- Schematic Versatility: Fits seamlessly as a physical, hand-in-the-dirt defensive end or a stand-up outside linebacker capable of dropping into flat zone assignments or rushing the passer.
Developmental Focus
As he enters his senior season, Lubin’s primary focus is continuing to silence the doubters regarding his straight-line speed by putting up dominant film against elite ACC tackles. While his pass-rush repertoire is deep—highlighted by high-level finesse and spin moves—refining his consistent lower-body anchor against physical double-teams in interior run-fits will round out his profile. Maintaining his high-effort motor and demonstrating robust technical hand placement will help secure his standing as a highly coveted, premier edge-rusher prospect.
Draft Countdown Film Notes
