Final Report
Jake Golday is a 5th Year Senior OLB out of Cincinnati by way of Central Arkansas. A converted Defensive End, he is long and lean with some unrefined pash rushing skills in his tool belt, but he was primarily asked to play on the outside between the tackle and the slot for Cincy. His primary strength is against the run and in pursuit, where he can close gaps quickly and wrap. He is excellent at cleaning up, which was on display on tape because he was often in poor position due to getting behind on his read. His pass defense- both rushing and in coverage- will be a project for anyone who drafts him, but he has the body and attitude to be a situational player and special teams ace right away. Note: Brother and both parents played college basketball.
