DITR: D-end Jaymin Thibodeaux Prairieville High School (Prairieville, LA)

Jaymin Thibodeaux is a 6’3, 230-pound D-end out of Prairieville High School in Prairieville, Louisiana. He has a 3.25 GPA and runs a 4.70 40-yard dash. His playing style is that of an explosive and physical defensive end who uses his strength, speed, and quick first step to pressure the quarterback and disrupt opposing offenses. He does a good job attacking the edge, shedding blocks, and pursuing ball carriers into the backfield. His relentless motor, physicality, and ability to make plays behind the line of scrimmage make him a valuable presence on the defensive front.
