A one-year starter at Florida, Joey Ivie looks and moves like an NFL defensive tackle. He has a good frame and strength and has been a versatile mover along the line, playing both nose tackle and in gaps. Coaches we spoke to loved Ivie and said he was the leader of a defensive line room filled with serious talent and personality. He's a hustler who flashes the hand use to knife through blocks and the strength to play against the run with power.
Ivie never put it all together at Florida after being a highly touted prep recruit.
