Edge rusher Justin Sobczak has established himself as one of the unquestioned leaders of Harding University’s nationally respected defense and one of the premier small-school prospects in the country. Standing 6-foot-6 and 265 pounds, Sobczak pairs outstanding size, length, strength, and athleticism with the relentless playing style coaches covet. A 2025 First Team All-Great American Conference selection, he played a pivotal role for one of Division II’s elite programs, finishing the season with 43 tackles, eight sacks, and three forced fumbles. His breakout campaign was highlighted by a dominant three-sack performance against Pittsburg State in the NCAA Division II Playoffs, demonstrating his ability to take over games and deliver in high-pressure moments. His production, toughness, and consistency have made him one of the driving forces behind Harding’s championship-caliber defense.
Sobczak is a well-rounded defensive end whose ability to generate pressure off the edge makes him one of the most disruptive pass rushers in Division II. He combines an explosive first step, violent hand usage, and outstanding functional strength to consistently defeat blocks, collapse the pocket, and finish plays behind the line of scrimmage. Equally effective against the run, he uses his length, leverage, and physicality to set a firm edge and disengage from blockers, making him a true every-down defender. Off the field, Sobczak has earned recognition as a multiple-time GAC Academic Honor Roll selection and CSC Academic All-America Second Team honoree, reflecting the discipline, maturity, leadership, and professionalism he brings to the program. With NFL-caliber measurables, proven production, and the high character teams value, Justin Sobczak has established himself as a legitimate professional prospect and a player worthy of serious attention from NFL organizations.
