Cleon Aloese
Wins his gap play after play. A 2-star signing who has since put two seasons on the field at Ohio. On tape: 5 tackles and 1.5 sacks against Kansas, Week 3, 2017.
Play style
Stout at the point of attack — steady tackle-for-loss production without a standout pass-rush number.

28 tackles. 3 passes defended. 0 interceptions. 5 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.
