Former five-star recruit who took the scenic route to NFL draft relevance, finally putting it together with back-to-back productive seasons at Arkansas. Sorey is a smooth, rangy linebacker who covers ground effortlessly and has legitimate coverage instincts — he tracks the ball in the air like a safety and has soft enough hands to make plays on it. The problem is everything between the tackles: he's not a violent tackler, doesn't seek contact with blockers, and his 220-pound frame gets washed in the run game against NFL-caliber offensive linemen. The Senior Bowl showed a player capable of flipping the switch, but the consistency just hasn't been there across a full season. He's a developmental coverage linebacker who needs a scheme that lets him run and chase rather than stack and shed.

• 🤲Legitimate coverage ability with soft hands and ball-tracking skills — interceptions in back-to-back seasons and natural feel for route concepts underneath
• 🏎️Sideline-to-sideline range and closing speed allow him to make plays in pursuit from the backside
• +Showed significant growth at the Senior Bowl, dominating Days 2-3 with an interception, sack, and multiple plays against the run after a slow start
• 🔥High-effort motor when locked in — led Arkansas in tackles in both 2024 (99) and 2025 (81) seasons
• 💡Multi-sport athlete with basketball background that shows up in body control and spatial awareness

• 💥Not a violent or physical tackler — makes arm tackles and fails to drive through ball carriers, which will be exploited at the NFL level
• 🪵Lightweight frame (220-229 lbs at 6-2) gets engulfed by blockers at the point of attack; struggles to stack and shed in the run game
• 🔥Inconsistent effort and intensity — PFF tackling grade was among the lowest on the roster in some games despite being the team's leading tackler
• 🚀Limited pass rush value with only 4.5 career sacks across two full-time starting seasons
