Draft Profile: Bio
Nazir Stackhouse, a defensive tackle out of Georgia, has been a cornerstone of the Bulldogs' formidable defense. Born in Stone Mountain, GA, Stackhouse honed his skills at Columbia High School, where he emerged as a four-star recruit across major scouting services. His impressive high school career culminated in being named the 2019 Region Defensive Player of the Year and earning a spot on the Class 5A All-State first team.

At Georgia, Stackhouse's development has been steady and impactful. After seeing limited action as a freshman in 2020, he gradually increased his role, becoming a key rotational player in 2021 before securing a starting position in 2022. His junior year was particularly notable, as he started all 15 games, amassing 32 total tackles and playing a crucial role in Georgia's national championship run. This included a pivotal blocked field goal in the SEC Championship game against LSU.

Stackhouse's senior season in 2023 has seen him elevate his game further, earning Second Team All-SEC honors. He's displayed improved playmaking ability, notching his first career interception and increasing his tackles for loss. His consistency and durability have been evident, as he's started every contest and continued to be a force in Georgia's defensive front.
Scouting Report: Strengths
ul>
  • Exceptional size and strength for the position, presenting a formidable challenge for interior offensive linemen in the run game
  • Demonstrates excellent anchoring ability, rarely giving ground even against double teams, which allows linebackers to flow freely
  • Shows good hand usage and length to stack and shed blockers, particularly effective in short-yardage situations
  • Versatile defender who can line up at various techniques along the defensive front, providing scheme flexibility
  • Displays a strong football IQ, reading plays well and positioning himself effectively to clog running lanes
  • Has shown durability and consistency, starting every game in the last two seasons for a top-tier program
  • Flashes the ability to collapse the pocket with bull rush, using his power to push interior linemen back into the quarterback
  • Improved tackling technique over his career, wrapping up effectively and limiting yards after contact in his area
    • Scouting Report: Weaknesses
    • Limited pass-rush repertoire beyond bull rush, lacking the quickness and agility to consistently threaten as an interior rusher
    • Struggles to redirect quickly, which can be exploited by more agile backs on cutback runs or in space
    • Below-average lateral mobility restricts his ability to make plays outside his immediate gap responsibilities
    • Needs to improve consistency in maintaining pad level, occasionally playing too high and losing leverage battles
    • Limited production in terms of tackles for loss and sacks, raising questions about his ability to be a three-down player at the next level
    Scouting Report: Summary
    Stackhouse projects as a valuable early-down run stuffer in the NFL, with the potential to develop into a more well-rounded defensive lineman. His ability to anchor against the run and occupy multiple blockers will be highly valued by teams employing a 3-4 defensive scheme or those looking to improve their run defense.

    While his limitations as a pass rusher may keep him off the field in obvious passing situations initially, Stackhouse's power and improving technique suggest he could develop into a more complete player. His fit will be best with teams that prioritize stout-run defense and can utilize his strengths while minimizing his exposure in pass-rushing situations.

    Stackhouse's combination of size, strength, and improving production make him an intriguing prospect. While he may not be a flashy pick, his ability to contribute immediately in run defense and potential for growth could see him selected in the middle rounds, with the opportunity to become a solid starter in the right system.

    *Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

    *Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
