Hebron Fangupo - NT

[DJ's left nut]

Yeah, this is a real person, I swear to god. He's also intriguing as hell:

6'1'', 331 lbs - you couldn't draw up a better body for a NT prospect. He's way way way under the radar, but here's a bit of an explanation as to why:

Fangupo came into the NCAA not out of high school, but out of junior college. He was a four-five star recruit coming out of Mt. San Antonio Junior College and went to the University of Southern California where he was enrolled for just one year.

During his only year at USC, Fangupo was the No. 3 defensive tackle (in the 4-3 where they start two), but fractured his ankle in the fourth game of the year against Washington.

In 2010, after not seeing much playing time and recovering from an injury, Fangupo decided to leave USC for BYU. 2011 was his only real season seeing any significant time as he bounded from two previous colleges.

Fangupo was named All-Independent (would probably have been All-League in many conferences if BYU was in one) and held up the Military Bowl trophy for the team as the Cougar's season came to an end.

He's hard to find information on, but the dude appears to be an absolutely ideal fit for this defense. Here's some stuff I've been able to find:

This is my official 'crush' prospect for this draft. I want us to get this kid in the 4th something fierce. I know he's projected in the 7th now, but there's no way he falls that far after the combine, IMO. In fact, I would consider grabbing him in the 3rd if his combine performance has him rising up draft boards. I think he could end up being the best 2-gap DT in the draft when all is said and done. Poe's height continues to scare me and I'm just not sure there are any other true 2-gappers out there.
