Head coach Beau Baldwin: "Satcher is long, rangy, has great twitch, and is really sudden, very athletic. All of that not only gives him the opportunity to play defensive end but also play some outside linebacker for us. He has such a base of athleticism. He had 21 sacks as a junior and that's an incredible number, which shows his ability to get to the quarterback."
