Scout.com Player Evaluation:
Royer plays in a gap control defense and is very intelligent and fundamentally sound in his play. He uses his hands well at the point of attack to shed blockers and then shows good closing speed to get to the ball carrier. He is natural in space and shows the foot speed and agility to play linebacker at the next level. Royer is also a sound tackler and will lay the wood at times, showing his aggressive nature. – Matt Alkire


Biography:
As a junior, Royer registered 86 tackles, 32 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, four pass deflections and blocked a punt on his way to first-team All-State honors at defensive end. He also played wide receiver for the first time this year, catching 56 passes for 1099 yards and five touchdowns in less than a full season. He also carried the ball 51 times for 271 yards and four more scores.
