From what I've heard of him, he's very raw but has good speed and quickness and a decent first step. He's kind of a tweener - skill set would be great at DE if he were a little bit bigger. He has a thin frame that probably will never be able to support enough weight for him to play anything but LB. Needs to work on technique - tackling is a definite area of improvement for him.
If nothing else, could be potentially effective as a situational pass rusher.

Good analysis of Ash. I watched highlights of him and he misses a lot of tackles. On the plus side, the guy knows how to get to the QB. That's a more of a natural instinct, IMO. Tackling can be taught.
He really needs Holsapple's program, though, as he is listed as 6'3" and only 194lbs.
He did earn Missouri class 6A 1st team defense honors.
