He is a special player and a NFL sure-fire player.
Mark Stoops, the former defensive coordinator at Florida State, says there’s no doubt that UK senior Bud Dupree ranks among the best defensive ends he’s ever coached.
“ I just left Florida State and we had quite a few guys there, Bjorn (Werner) and Tank (Carradine) and Brandon Jenkins and a lot of good players, and of course going back to even some guys at Arizona we had and way back to Miami, I put Bud up there with some of the best I’ve been around and ever had the pleasure to coach or be on their team,” Stoops said.
“I think he is just — if we were just doing what we did at Florida State and he was just putting his hand in the dirt and rushing every snap, his numbers would be through the roof. We are doing an awful lot with him right now because he is versatile. He drops about half the time. He rushes about half the time. So his production as far as sacks and tackles for loss aren’t as high as they would be if we were just playing four down all the time.
“And I think that will help him at the next level. I think he’s very versatile. I think he’ll be an outside backer. He can do whatever they want him to do at the next level. I really believe that. I think that’s why he’ll be a high pick. Just very proud of Bud. He’s a pleasure to work with, he always works hard, he has a great attitude, he’s talented and he picks things up very well. I wish I had a bunch more like him.”
