Corey Wootton Scouting Report

Corey Wootton is yet another Big Ten prospect coming back from a serious injury. Wootton suffered a knee injury during the fourth quarter of Northwestern's bowl game and had off-season surgery to fix the damage. He is a four year starter who has improved every year on the field. In 37 career games (leading into this season), Wootton has tallied 132 tackles, 32 tackles for loss, 15.5 sacks, 3 interceptions, forced 2 fumbles, and blocked 3 kicks. He has started slowly this season as Northwestern has used him sparingly while he continues to heal. Wootton finished his final collegiate season with 21 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, and blocked another kick. When he is 100 percent, Wootton is extremely quick for his size. He will also provide whichever team drafts him with a lot of versatility. At 6'7 Wootton is a nightmare for opposing kickers and punters
