Adisa Isaac

Linebacker · Penn State

A Penn State edge rusher who boosted his stock with a dominant senior season but has struggled to stay on the field through his first two NFL years.

Adisa Isaac entered the 2024 draft as a high-floor run defender after leading Penn State in tackles for loss during his fifth-year senior season. Reunited with former college teammate Odafe Oweh in Baltimore, his early NFL career has been slowed by a string of injuries that have limited his snaps.

★ Led Penn State with 16 tackles for loss as a senior (2023)

★ 7.5 sacks in his final Penn State season

Path to the league

Isaac's stock rose sharply in his final season at Penn State, where he led the Nittany Lions with 16 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks. He measured 6-foot-4, 253 pounds at the combine, running a 4.74-second 40-yard dash. The Ravens drafted him in the third round (No. 93 overall) of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Career highlights

Isaac was viewed as an immediate-impact run defender coming out of college, projected to complement Baltimore's pass-rush-focused edge players. He reunited in Baltimore with Odafe Oweh, his former Penn State teammate, and worked under outside linebackers coach Chuck Smith.

2025 season recap

Isaac's second season was again hampered by limited playing time, recording just one solo tackle and no sacks on the year. He appeared in only four games as a rookie in 2024 due to multiple injuries, and his snap counts remained too low in 2025 for standard efficiency rankings.
