Noah Miles, DE, Howard | 2026 NFL Draft Prospect Zoom Interview
Noah Miles is a dynamic defensive end from Howard University and one of the top HBCU prospects for this season. He had a breakout season in 2024, earning First Team All-MEAC honors, and was recently named to the East-West Shrine Bowl Watch List as well as the 2025 STATS Preseason All-American Team. Standing at 6’3 ½” and 250 pounds, with 33 7/8″ arms and an 82 3/4″ wingspan, he brings ideal length and size to the edge position. His relentless motor, toughness, and leadership are cornerstones of Howard’s defense. Known for his tenacity and physical style of play, Miles consistently collapses the pocket and disrupts both the run and pass game.
Miles offers valuable positional versatility, having played as an interior defensive lineman in high school and thriving in multiple roles at Howard. He’s been effective on inside stunts as a 3-tech and dangerous off the edge, where his quickness and length allow him to bend, set the edge, and wreak havoc in the backfield. His ability to make plays from various alignments makes him a scheme-versatile prospect and one of the top defensive players in the FCS heading into this fall.
