Official Release
Durham, N.C. – Redshirt sophomore defensive end Chris Rumph II was named a 2019 First Team All-American by Pro Football Focus.
Â
For a while, it was Ohio State's Chase Young who was going to finish the year with the highest pass-rush win rate, but with a dominant end to his regular season, Rumph II secured the pass-rush win title for 2019. In doing so, Rumph even broke the 2019 record for the highest pass-rush win rate in a game as he finished the regular season against Miami by winning 51.7 percent of his snaps against the Hurricanes.
Â
On the year, Rumph recorded 48 total pressures that included seven sacks, 11 hits and 30 hurries on just 197 pass-rushes, while he recorded 38 tackles with just five misses and 25 defensive stops to his credit. His season-long 32.8 percent pass-rush win rate tops that of even the aforementioned Young, as he totaled more pressures than Young but on 47 fewer pass-rushes. Rumph rounded out his incredibly effective season by forcing a fumble, batting another pass at the line and having 20 additional pass-rush wins that he didn't get credit for.
