  Draft Scout by Conference









  Boston College defensive ends Marcus Valdez and Brandon Barlow are accomplished edge-rushers in pursuit of a higher standard. The Atlantic Coast Conference is populated by some of the most athletic dual-threat quarterbacks in college football. Developing the techniques and disciplines necessary to contain quarterbacks like Louisville's Malik Cunningham has been a focus for BC coach Jeff Hafley in the opening weeks of spring football. The spring season concludes with the annual Jay McGillis Memorial maroon and gold game at Alumni Stadium on April 24. "We need to rush the passer better on the edge, in the middle and we need to blitz better," said Hafley. "We need to affect the quarterbacks more and we are going to do so. We need to do it schematically, fundamentally and with those two players. "They are working on so many different things right now and they have to figure out what they can master in the off-season. They have studied themselves on tape from last year and are building from there. But we are going to need those guys off the edge if we are going to take a step up on defense." The benchmarks that Valdez and Barlow are inspired to emulate were established over three seasons (2016-2018) by three relentless QB trackers, all of whom went on to the NFL. - Boston Herald
