More 2025 NFL Draft Scouting Profiles<\/a><\/p>\n Height: 6\u20196\u201d<\/p>\n Weight: 271 lbs<\/p>\n Batty is well-loved among BYU fans. He grew up in Payson, Utah, just about 20 minutes from BYU\u2019s campus. At Payson High School, Batty earned First-Team All-Region honors. He was rated as a three-star recruit by 247Sports<\/a>. Batty received offers from Utah, Utah State, and Air Force, but he chose to stay home and play for the BYU Cougars. He served a mission in Spain from 2017-2019, then he returned to BYU to begin his collegiate career.<\/p>\n In his five seasons as a Cougar, Batty totaled over 200 tackles and 16.5 sacks. He earned limited playing time in 2020 before securing a starting role in 2021. Since then, he has been consistently productive, with at least 43 tackles in each season. He was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team in 2023 and the All-Big 12 First Team in 2024. Batty will be 25 years old when the NFL season starts, making him one of the older prospects in this year\u2019s draft.<\/p>\n At a menacing 6\u20196\u201d and 271 pounds, Batty has the strength to push the pocket and affect opposing quarterbacks. He plays with a high motor, even on runs away from his side. Batty shows a variety of moves when rushing the passer. He has a good bull rush and can catch tackles off guard with his power. He also showcases an effective swim move.<\/p>\n Batty is able to set the edge against the run with some consistency. He is a fairly consistent tackler. BYU used him at multiple spots along the defensive line, though he primarily played on the edge. He even has some experience dropping into coverage.<\/p>\n Batty is not an elite athlete. His 10-foot broad jump and 34-inch vertical jump at the NFL Combine<\/a> show limited explosiveness. The numbers match the tape, as Batty is often slow to get off the ball. He has a below-average wingspan, which can result in difficulty getting off blocks. Batty lacks the flexibility to bend around the edge of the offensive line. He does not have a go-to pass rush move that he can consistently win with.<\/p>\n Batty is an aggressive defender with impressive strength and solid production. His lack of athletic traits will push him down draft boards, especially in a loaded defensive line class. Batty will likely serve as a depth piece at the next level. He will need to refine his pass rush moves to build a long career in the NFL. Batty projects as a sixth-round talent. The 2025 NFL Draft begins on April 24.<\/p>\n Main Photo: Mark J.
