Mathias Kiwanuka #15 prospect in 2006 NFL Draft.

Mathias Kiwanuka NFL Draft Bio



Mathias Kiwanuka has emerged as one of the most feared pass rushers in college football, and will most likely be one of the top defensive players available for the 2006 draft. As a sophomore in 2003, Kiwanuka had an outstanding year finishing up with 83 tackles, 16.5 for loss, and 11.5 sacks. With an exceptional season like that, Mathias garnered a lot of attention as a junior, and he did not disappoint. He finished with 67 tackles, an amazing 25.5 tackles for loss, and a Big East leading 11.5 sacks despite being the main focal point of opposing defensive coordinators. Kiwanuka’s upside is tremendous. Physically, Kiwanuka is the whole package, he is tall, athletic, quick, and strong. Not only is he big but his talent can change opposition game plans with his big play ability. Once he gets in motion, his quickness and athleticism make him a major pass rushing threat. With his height and wingspan, Mathias can also disrupt passing lanes for quarterbacks.

With all his success, Kiwi is still has a way to go to be effective in the NFL. He relies on his natural gifts too much and needs to work on his techniques. With his height, he needs to work on coming off the snap quicker and staying low when engaged with a lineman. He has a tendency to get too high and be taken out of the play. Kiwanuka has a big frame and needs to add more weight at the next level to make an impact.

Kiwi has as much upside, if not more, as any other defensive player in this years draft. He has the amazing physical gifts NFL teams covet as a pass rusher these days. He is athletic, and effective as a pass rushers, but he has the frame to add the weight to become a very well rounded end. Kiwanuka has the physical ability combined with enormous potential which should make him a very early draft selection.
