Playing for Kentucky in a conference known for putting out NFL talent, Alvin Dupree has been overlooked his entire collegiate career, but this season, Dupree has played too well not to be noticed. Easily Kentucky’s best player and one of the most disruptive defenders in college football, Dupree is starting to move up draft boards around the NFL. Coming off a huge game against Louisville, Dupree’s draft stock is starting to soar.

With an explosive first step and an ability to stop both the run and the pass, Dupree is one of the more well-rounded players in the draft. Dupree has solid athletic ability, and an absolutely relentless motor. Dupree never gives up on a play, and his closing speed is among the best in the 2015 class. As a 3-4 outside linebacker, Dupree would make a huge impact against both the running and passing games.

If there is one weakness when it comes to Dupree, it’s his size. He’s listed at 6-foot-4, 264 pounds, but he has a thin frame that may make him more susceptible to injuries at the next level. Also, due to his thin frame, Dupree can get pushed back by bigger linemen, limiting his effectiveness. With that said, Dupree has enough natural talent to overcome whatever problems his lack of size may present.

All in all, Alvin Dupree is someone that will make a huge impact at the NFL level. Coming off a wildly productive career for Kentucky, scouts around the NFL are going to want to get a look at Dupree. Expect to see this guy making plays in the NFL.
