Dimukeje (pronounced dee-mew-kay-ghee) has been an impressive player for the Blue Devils since arriving in Durham. The former first-team Baltimore All-Metro selection from the Boys' Latin School received Freshman All-American notice in 2017 after starting all 13 games (40 tackles, 7.5 for loss, with two sacks, one interception). Dimukeje was named Duke's top defensive lineman his sophomore year after leading his squad with 8.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks among his 42 tackles (also forcing two fumbles) in 13 starts. ACC coaches voted him second-team all-conference in 2019 after he again led his team with 8.5 sacks among his 41 stops (9.5 for loss) in 12 starts. Dimukeje was an honorable mention all-conference selection as a senior, racking up 44 tackles (11.5 for loss) with 7.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 11 starts for the Blue Devils. -- by Chad Reuter

Overview

Compact edge defender with hard-hat demeanor and play strength that seems suited for the NFL game. Dimukeje will typically win with force and physicality over plus skill and finesse. He loses some reps to longer tackles but does a good job of setting strong edges, as long as he's able to long-arm the blocker in time. Below-average burst limits his range as a run defender and ability to close out quarterbacks as a rusher. He needs to diversify his rush a little but is already efficient and powerful to trim the edge and create pocket pressure. He has an average ceiling but should be a fairly steady backup as a 3-4 rush linebacker or 4-3 base end.

Strengths
  • Compact, powerful frame.
  • Tremendously durable over four years.
  • Leverage to set strong edge against tight ends.
  • Stout lower body with workable anchor.
  • Pursues from backside with gusto.
  • Hands are heavy and forceful.
  • Generates early push as power rusher.
  • Effective rip-and-run to flatten to the quarterback.
  • Good ability to dip under redirect blocks at top of the rush.
  • Undeterred once he gets the sniff of an edge.
Weaknesses
  • One-speed rusher with short strides.
  • Lacks acceleration up and around the turn.
  • Will need to develop a go-to rush counter.
  • Average closing burst to the quarterback.
  • Telegraphs inside move and makes it with tall pad level.
  • Length from tackles will give him problems.
  • Glued to blocks when he's not in quick with his hands.
  • Below-average pursuit speed if he loses contain.
  • Has trouble playing through lateral engagements.

"He's thick and stout. He can handle himself at the point and he's got some power in his rush." -- Area scout for AFC team

Never heard of him.

4 year starter so plenty of experience.

When we get to this stage I don't really care much and just hope they show enough to make the 53.

Don’t have much on him. He’s not especially outstanding, more of a blue collar worker. He’s one of those players who just does the job with no fanfare. He’s solid, but not flashy. Shows up, works hard and doesn’t make mistakes. He could develop into a DL rotational player. He seemed durable and played to the whistle. He’ll likely never be a starter, but he will be dependable.

I would have rather ARZ taken Patrick Johnson or local kid Hamilcar Rashed Jr who are better fits in 3-4 than Dimukeje.
