Regis (6-feet-1, 295 pounds) played 2021-2025 at Texas A&M. He registered 3.5 career sacks with 11 tackles for loss, including two sacks in 2025 and three tackles for loss. He also had 10 pass breakups, nine over the last two seasons.
"He just has all the physical tools – tough, strong, situationally and formationally aware," Hemphill said. "He can move fast. He can run sideline to sideline. He has good athletic ability. He's strong, but then on the mental side of it, he knows everything that's going. He's just a high IQ kid."
Hemphill said Regis' skill set goes well beyond that of a traditional run-stuffing defensive tackle – and that he can be effective well beyond the interior of the line.
"My man can move," Hemphill said. "He can run. He runs with the linebackers. He doesn't run with the offensive lineman. He's an athlete. You're going to see a lot of stretch. He can keep up with the stretch. He'll make plays outside of the 'A' gap, for sure."
Hemphill, too, said how Regis was used in the Texas A&M defense dictated many of his statistics – and that his potential as a pass rusher may not be seen in his collegiate numbers.
