Accolades and honors for Verse this past season include Second-team Associated Press All-American. First-team All-ACC. Led the team with 9.0 sacks. Started 13 games (41 tackles, 12.5 TFL, 3 PBUs, blocked kick, FF).

His NFL.com Draft profile:

"Talented edge defender with the field demeanor, athleticism and skill set to rack up statistics in key categories fairly early in his NFL career. Verse dominated at Albany and then showed an ability to do the same at Florida State. He’s twitchy and compact, with explosiveness featured at the point of attack and in his upfield burst as a pass rusher. He’s great with his hands and does a nice job of diagnosing plays quickly and staying out of the clinches of offensive linemen looking to snatch him up. Verse's ability to threaten the edge only bolsters his hellish speed-to-power bull-rushing ability to run tackles deep into the pocket. He can play up or down and should be in consideration for all defensive schemes looking to add a safe, high-impact edge."

CBS Sports says he is going to the Seahawks:

"Not sure a pass rusher is the biggest need for Seattle, but I think the Seahawks opt to take the best player available with Verse still on the board. Could be a Day 1 impact player off the edge for the Seahawks."

Oddsmakers do not favor Seattle landing Verse as they have offensive lineman as the -155 favorite.  Verse pays out $165 for every $100 bet if they do pick him or another EDGE.
