People are over-thinking the top EDGE prospect. Read the 2026 NFL Draft scouting report on Rueben Bain Jr. here for you to look over.
The national media is overthinking things once again. Every year, it seems like people talk themselves into putting prospects at the top of their positional group when the clear top choice is right in front of them. We are seeing it this year, as somehow Miami's Rueben Bain Jr.
is no longer the top EDGE prospect, according to many. Let's talk about why this is a mistake. Bain, a former four-star recruit out of Miami Central High School in Miami, Florida, won four straight(!
) state championships, totaling 77 career sacks, before landing with the Hurricanes. It took three short weeks before Bain would become a starter, never looking back. He would total 18.
5 sacks during his collegiate career, earning ACC Defensive Player of the Year and consensus All-American honors this past season. The overthinking of Rueben Bain Jr. is getting out of hand.
