"Squatty interior anchor whose track-star 4.88 forty at 295 pounds keeps him on the field for third down. Short arms and late-blooming production cap the ceiling at rotational two-gapper."Pre-draft read
Aligns primarily as a 1i/2i shade in even fronts and slides to nose in short-yardage packages. Fires off with a low pad level and true two-gap intent, using compact hips to anchor against down blocks and reset the line of scrimmage on doubles. Hands work as extensions—snatch-and-toss on trap looks, long-arm counter when a guard oversets, occasional swim inside when the get-off wins.
Pass-rush plan is limited to a push-pull and a bull that stalls once linemen recover, so his interior pressure lives on stunts and twists rather than one-on-ones. Recognizes gap exchanges quickly and rarely gets displaced when the puller comes downhill. Motor never quits—still finishing snaps and chasing outside runs deep into the fourth quarter.
This prospect best fits a one-gap 3-4 penetrating front as a rotational interior defender where he can maximize his run-stuffing ability and burst off the snap, occasionally used in two-gap alignments to eat blocks.
Year 1 rotational 1-tech with four-down special teams value, with a ceiling as an early-down anchor in a 3-4 scheme.
Any scheme that asks him to regularly generate pressure as an interior pass rusher will minimize his value and highlight his limitations.
Regis projects as a scheme-specific interior anchor whose ability to reset the line of scrimmage and play with a relentless motor makes him a valuable, albeit rotation-limited, asset against the run.

Albert Regis Highlights | Welcome to the Jaguars
Post-draft highlight reel focused on get-off, hand use and finish.
Albert Regis is projected as a scheme-specific interior anchor, capable of rotating into an even-front defense primarily as a two-gapper. His athletic testing profile, including a 4.88 forty-yard dash at 295 pounds, resolved pre-draft questions about his explosiveness and power, indicating he can offer legitimate snap value.
He redshirted in 2021 and became a rotational player across four seasons at Texas A&M, gradually increasing his tackle production from 16 in 2022 to 36 in 2024, and 49 in 2025. His 2025 performance, highlighted by seven tackles, a TFL, and a sack against Notre Dame, earned him SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week honors and elevated his draft stock.
Evaluators flagged his sub-32-inch arm length as a limitation, potentially hindering his ability to disengage once locked out by offensive linemen. This, combined with modest career sack totals, led to a consensus projection as a rotational two-gapping nose tackle with special-teams utility, landing him in the Day 2/3 range. He was ultimately drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the 81st pick in the third round.
- 01
Track-star get-off
A 4.88 forty at 295 pounds shows up on tape when he beats interior linemen off the ball on twist games and inside stunts.
- 02
Anchor at the point of attack
Compact hips and a natural low pad level let him stack doubles on down blocks and reset the line of scrimmage against Power Four centers.
- 03
Hand independence
Functional snatch-and-toss on trap looks and a long-arm counter when interior sets overextend, keeping blockers off his frame and buying linebackers a clean read.
- 04
Two-gap discipline
Recognizes gap exchanges quickly, rarely gets displaced by combo pullers, and stays square long enough for the second level to scrape without traffic.
- 05
Signature special-teams value
Blocked a field goal in the 2022 upset over Miami and stayed on the ball-block units through his final season as a legitimate interior threat.
- 01
Arm-length flag
Sub-32-inch arms mean guards who land first often lock him out at the sternum, and his counter package rarely gets a chance to reset the rep.
- 02
Ceiling as a rusher
One sack in 2023 and a half-sack in 2024 speak to a limited pass-rush plan beyond the push-pull and the occasional swim inside.
- 03
Late-arriving production
67 total tackles across three heavy-snap seasons is thin for a nose being projected as anything other than a rotational body.
- 04
Snap-count durability
Never averaged full-time reps at Texas A&M, so the projection is capped at a 25-to-30 snap rotational nose rather than a three-down anchor.

A dash means the figure is not published by a source we trust — never a zero we invented.
Interior body with surprise athleticism who settles into a run-down rotational rep count as a low-end starter with occasional interior pressure production.
Squatty leverage nose whose lack of length is masked by pad level and quick hands, carving out a decade-long rotational anchor role with above-average run-game impact.
Rotational nose whose stoutness earns snaps in even fronts but limited pass-rush plan keeps him at the bottom of the interior depth chart.
Everything above is the pre-draft evaluation. This section is what actually happened — updated year over year.
[{"body":"Regis arrived at Texas A&M as a four-star La Porte, Texas recruit who flipped his commitment from Minnesota, then took the long road—redshirt in 2021, rotational reps in 2022 and 2023, then a career-high 36-tackle 2024 that finally established him as a full-time interior body. His 2025 breakout came early against Notre Dame in week three, when seven tackles, a TFL and a sack in the upset earned SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week and moved his stock from priority free agent into legitimate Day-three consideration. The Combine invitation validated the arc: a 4.88 forty at 295 with a 34-inch vertical is legitimately elite athletic testing for a nose tackle, even if the sub-32-inch arms and modest career sack total (a combined two across five seasons) capped how far up boards he could climb. Consensus profile heading into April: rotational two-gap NT with special-teams juice, best in an attacking four-man front that lets him one-gap on twists.","heading":"Pre-draft context"},{"body":"Jacksonville spent pick 81 on Regis to reinforce the interior rotation behind their top-of-the-depth-chart nose, betting the athletic testing translates to genuine snap value even at Day-three cost. The scheme fit is clean: an interior defender who can two-gap in base but hold up as a get-off penetrator on stunts and twists is exactly what a modern attacking four-man front asks from its NT rotation. Expectation for year one is a 20-to-30 snap rotational role on early downs plus interior work on the field-goal block unit, with the pass-rush usage limited until he proves the counter package can carry a rep against NFL guards. The arm-length flag is the real ceiling determinant—if it holds up in the run game, he settles into a decade-long rotational role; if it gets exposed, he becomes a scheme-specific NT who lives in short-yardage packages.","heading":"NFL fit — Jacksonville Jaguars"},{"body":"Too early to grade the pick, but the profile writes cleanly: Regis is exactly the type of interior-defender bet an organization should be willing to make in the third round—verified athletic testing, five years of college tape against SEC interior linemen, a signature performance in the biggest game of his career, and a defined role at the NFL level that does not require projection. The realistic outcome is a Poona Ford / Khalen Saunders style career—rotational NT who logs 500 snaps a year, contributes on special teams, and quietly re-signs on modest second contracts. The floor is a rotational body whose length gets him rotated out on obvious passing downs, which at pick 81 is still a defensible value. What he does not need to become is a starter for this to be a functional selection.","heading":"Retrospective"}]
