Strengths:
Quick off snap
Strong against the run
Able to bull rush with power
Athletic and laterally mobile
Very versatile
Good initial punch
Weaknesses: Does not possess closing speed
Needs to develop pass rushing moves
Still working on stamina and conditioning
Not much experience
Summary: Corey Liuget ended his collegiate career a year early and went out on a high note with an impressive showing in the Texas Bowl. He was used in multiple spots on the Illinois line which is a valuable asset heading into the 2011 NFL Draft. His best fit appears to be a penetrating tackle in a 4-3 front.
Player Comparison: Sedrick Ellis. I see no good reason to sway from this common comparison. Their frames are similar and both have balanced pass rush and run defense skills. When Ellis came out of USC he was considered a possible 3-4 nose tackle and Liuget carries the same potential.
