Collegiate Career
Beginning his college career at Georgia Tech, Ivey became an immediate threat to opposing offenses, appearing in 20 games over his first two seasons while recording 32 tackles. Though he was productive, his career took a large step forward when he transferred to Ole Miss in the 2022 winter portal cycle.
During his time in red and blue, Ivey notched 125 total tackles, 16 sacks, 26.5 tackles for loss, and five fumble recoveries, one of which was returned for a touchdown. In addition to expanding on his skillset, Ivey also grew into a crucial leadership role on the 2024 squad.

His 6-foot-6, 274-pound frame allows him to work in several roles across the defensive line while utilizing his athleticism to make plays. There’s no question that if he stays healthy, Ivey can have one of the most productive NFL careers out of a wide group of defensive linemen in his draft class.
