The Bucs continue to bring in edge rushers for Top 30 visits. The latest is Kansas State outside linebacker Felix Anudike-Uzomah, who is set to visit Tampa Bay on Wednesday. The news was first reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

The Bucs have brought in four outside linebackers for Top 30 visits – the most of any position group so far. In addition to Anudike-Uzomah, Tampa Bay has hosted Georgia’s Nolan Smith, LSU’s B.J. Ojulari and Iowa’s Lukas Van Ness on Top 30 visits. Pewter Report has now reported a total of 15 Top 30 visits to the Bucs. You can see Pewter Report’s updated Top 30 Visit Tracker right here.

Anudike-Uzomah (pronounced ann-you-DEE-kay you-ZAH-mah) was the Big XII Defensive Player of the Year in 2022 in helping K-State win the Big XII championship. He finished his Wildcats career with 20.5 sacks, with 19.5 of them coming in the last two seasons, in addition to 26.5 tackles for loss and a safety.

Anudike-Uzomah has shown the ability to get sacks in bunches, evidenced by three games with three sacks or more. What’s even more impressive is that he played in the B gap as a defensive lineman or lined up over the offensive tackle 211 times last year in K-State’s 3-4 defensive scheme.

At 255 pounds, his ideal position is outside the tackle as an outside linebacker where he lined 452 times. Still, Anudike-Uzomah, who had a formal interview with the Bucs at the NFL Scouting Combine, showed the tenacity and toughness to take on guard-tackle double teams in the trenches.

Anudike-Uzomah came to K-State as a 220-pound edge rusher and has added 35 pounds in college over the last three years. He has a frame to add another 5-10 more pounds in the NFL, too. Anudike-Uzomah can win with speed and power, and his skill set should translate well at the next level.

A feisty and tenacious pass rusher, Anudike-Uzomah has very good bend at the top of the arc and can turn the corner due to his agility. He rarely misses sacks, too. Anudike-Uzomah is a high-character defender, who gives top effort whether it’s rushing the passer, stuffing the run or in pursuit downfield. He has been mocked anywhere from the late first round to the late second round, and would be a steal at No. 50 for the Bucs. Pewter Report had Anudike-Uzomah as Tampa Bay’s second-round pick in its first Bucs Mock Draft this year.
