2026 NFL Draft scouting report: Keldric Faulk, EDGE, Auburn
Our latest scouting report ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft is live and it is on Auburn's Keldric Faulk.
Every year, we see prospects rise and fall. Inevitably, there will be prospects in the class who rise, but are not deserving of the hype surrounding them. One of those prospects in conversation is Auburn EDGE Keldric Faulk.
Faulk is a popular name towards the top of the 2026 NFL Draft EDGE class, but let's talk about if he deserves it or not. Faulk, a former four-star recruit out of Highland Home High School in Highland Home, Alabama, was the number 79 overall prospect in his class. He would see the field as a true freshman and never look back, earning SEC All-Freshman team honors.
His sophomore season was impressive, when he finished with seven sacks and 11 tackles for loss. 2025 was a down year for Faulk, as he totaled just two sacks through three games. Keldric Faulk certainly has the build to be an every-down lineman at 6'6, 285 lbs.
He is as strong as an ox, as he can bench 415 lbs and squat 700 lbs. He uses his strength to be a plus run defender, knowing where to find the gaps, but can also force his way in. He led FBS EDGE rushers with 62 run stops.
