Connor Wujciak, DT, Redshirt Senior (6-2, 296, 4.84)
A run plugger on the Eagles' defensive line, Wujciak, the son of an offensive lineman on Notre Dame's 1973 National Title team, won't make too many plays away from the line of scrimmage, but he fills run lanes and takes pride in the dirty work. As a run defender, he holds the point of attack with elevated eye level to track the ballcarrier and muddy the trenches. While stout vs. the run, Wujciak struggles to consistently generate power as a pass rusher (three sacks in 26 starts), but he does move well laterally to work around blockers, displaying the nonstop motor to make frequent visits in the backfield.
Justin Simmons, CB/FS, Senior (6-2, 192, 4.62)
After playing most of his career at free safety, Simmons kicked outside and lined up at cornerback the second half of last season due to injuries. And understandably, he looked like a safety trying to play corner, gaining experience at a different position, but also showing his best position as a NFL prospect is likely at free safety. Tall, long and rangy, Simmons led Boston College in tackles (76) last season and was the only Eagles' defender with multiple interceptions (two) in 2014. He plays upright and tight, which hinders his change of direction skills at times, but he plays fast and decisive in all directions, closing with purpose in coverage and as a run defender.
Steven Daniels, SLB, Senior (5-11, 257, 4.86)
A prospect who will likely draw comparisons to former Cincinnati linebacker Jeff Luc, Daniels lacks ideal height for the position, but he's thickly put-together and carries his weight well to make plays all over the field. He finished second on the Eagles in tackles (72) as a junior in 2014, adding seven tackles for loss and one interception. Daniels played both strongside and middle linebacker last season, appearing most comfortable inside where he could diagnose the run and attack downhill. Off his junior tape, he was asked to blitz much more than cover vs. the pass, using pop in his hands to drive blockers on their heels, but Daniels also lacks ideal experience moving in reverse in coverage.
Other Boston College prospects to watch in 2015:
Bobby Swigert, WR, Redshirt Senior (6-0, 196, 4.63)
Dan Crimmins, WR, Senior (6-4, 223, 4.74)
Kevin Kavalec, DE, Junior (6-3, 251, 4.77)
