Nebraska's Profile for Larry Asante

Senior Bowl invitee. Measurements - arm: 31.0" hand: 9.25" Notes: Lean, compact and solid, looks the part.

Greatly improved player with an NFL physique & athleticism. Physical safety who is always around the ball, yet honors his assignments and doesn't get caught out of position. Good instincts. Big hitter and good open-field tackler. Comes up hard to force the run, and will sacrifice his body. Good in coverage; can handle both man responsibilities vs. backs and TE's and play in zone. Plays the ball in the air and breaks up passes.

Flagged for too many personal foul penalties (though some were questionable); must learn to play in control. Not an interceptor and more suited to be an in-the-box safety rather than isolated in the deep patrol.

Up-and-comer with a high upside. Middle to late round pick.

Unless he steps up big time as a senior, I don't see him as NFL material. He can hit the crap out of people, but he lacks in coverage ability and sure tackling. Would've been better suited as a linebacker. We'll see how he does this year, he's a guy who could break out.
