Executive Summary

Sorey projects as an undrafted free agent with developmental potential in a 3-4 alignment where his frame and instincts can be maximized. A two-down thumper with above-average gap recognition and willingness in run support, he profiles as a backup/special teams contributor at the NFL level. Teams seeking depth at linebacker with patience for developmental curves will find value here, particularly those emphasizing film study and film-room detail over elite athleticism.

⚠ Risk Factors

Limited first-step quickness and a 4.7+ forty-time raise concerns about his ability to cover ground in modern spread offenses and stay attached to mobile tight ends. The gap between his tape against Power Five competition and NFL speed will be significant, creating a material adjustment period that may exceed typical rookie windows. Arkansas's scheme also masked some limitations; scheme-dependent players at this athleticism tier rarely develop into quality starters.
