Final Report
Halton was a 2 year starter for the Sooners where he earned 2nd team All SEC honors in 2025. Halton is incredibly twitchy. His first step is lightning quick and allows him to shoot into the backfield to cause negative gains. As a pass rusher he disrupts pockets and gets QB’s off their spots leading to sacks and pressures for his teammates. Halton is undersized and it shows up in the run game, he can get knocked out his spot too easily if he can’t win initially. He can often go long stretches without impacting the game and can be neutralized if offenses are staying ahead of the chains. Halton is best as a rotational option for a team who will let him shoot as many gaps as possible. It’s hard to project him as a three down player due to his run game deficiencies and that will impact on where he gets drafted.
