Clemson really showed that Travis could play with anyone. Clemson's Oline is considered one of the best in the game and he was getting lots of attention. He's sneaky powerful and quick. I think he's really going to be the next Aaron Donald at the next level.

I think the world of Travus and fully believe that he will be a quality NFL defensive lineman but Aaron Donald is a far different type of player than Travis could ever be. I think it would be far more fair to project him as another Fletcher Cox or simar oversized DT who swallows up the run and can push the line a bit in passing situations.

-> Rank 39 Travis Jones
Connecticut · DT · Senior
NR

Jones is a big, powerful defensive tackle with surprising quickness. Against the pass, he can generate immediate knockback and collapse the pocket. He uses a long inside-arm maneuver to walk centers right back to the quarterback. He flashes an explosive club move, but he needs to continue to add to his arsenal of pass-rush techniques. Against the run, he is stout versus both single and double teams. He can sink his weight and resist pressure on angle blocks. His effort is solid. Overall, Jones took his game to another level at the Reese's Senior Bowl and he has the ability to play on the other side of the line of scrimmage against both the run and pass. <-

-> 14. Travis Jones, Connecticut, defensive tackle:The 6-foot-4 1/2, 326-pound powerhouse (7.5 TFLs, 4.5 sacks) has been the best thing UConn football has had going in a long time. He was once around 360 pounds but really worked on his body and got down to 13 percent body fat. He should get in the mid-30s on the bench and close to 30 inches on his vertical jump. Don’t be shocked if he cracks 4.60 on his shuttle time. He did a 4.57 last offseason. <-

He might be the fastest interior Dlinemen at the combine this year.

Omar Fortt and Ryan Van Demark are both training hard at TEST in preparation for Pro Day. It’s an interesting and challenging regimen and it all culminates on one morning in March. Pro Day for UConn starts at 8am on Wednesday March 23rd.

Fortt and Van Demark deserve a shot at the next level. I think Fortt gets a shot on special teams and Ryan will hopefully turn some heads at the pro day. It's crazy the Ryan didn't get invited to the combine.
