Summary

Strengths

Change of direction pops on film against the run and pass (also had an excellent 6.95 three cone)

Fearless exploding downhill against the run

Burst as a blitzer with a smooth shoulder dip

Nearly 300 snaps on special teams from 2024-2025

Weaknesses

Ends up on the ground in the run game, losing control

10% missed tackle rate is too high and mostly due to lack of length

Final Report

Kuwatch is a tall and athletic off-ball linebacker prospect. He was under-recruited and walked on Ohio State, but transferred after two years to Miami (Ohio). His excellent three cone time from his pro day is evident on film, easily changing direction whether it's against an outside run or in coverage. There is no fear from him attacking the inside run game, but he'll recklessly end up on the ground or lunge (with short arms) at the ball carrier. That led to some missed tackles, but he still impacts the play even when that happens. He has the burst and even a shoulder dip move as a blitzer that led to some pass rush production. Overall, Kuwatch has the experience and athleticism required for a day one special teams role but legitimate potential to grow into a sub package or starting linebacker down the road. He had a private 30 visit with the New York Jets.
