STM Take

Career STTM range tier 5-8 across three years for a 110th overall pick puts Adebawore on the year-three developmental band for 4th-round IDL prospects. The Northwestern Big Ten 4th-round origin plus the elite NFL Combine measurables gives him real athletic foundation. The 2026 question is whether Adebawore crosses into tier 4 territory or whether the structural tier 5 finish becomes the stable baseline.

Adebawore came out of Northwestern as the Indianapolis Colts' 4th-round pick (110th overall) in 2023 after putting up elite NFL Combine measurables that made him a rare athletic profile. He has spent three years in the Colts' interior rotation. His STTM career runs tier 6 (#45) rookie, tier 8 (#72) sophomore, and tier 5 (#40) in 2025.

Strengths

Elite NFL Combine measurables (rare athletic profile) plus the Northwestern Big Ten pedigree gives him real technical foundation.
32-spot year-over-year improvement from tier 8 (#72) in 2024 to tier 5 (#40) in 2025 shows developmental trajectory.

Concerns

Career STTM range tier 5-8 across three years caps the realistic 2026 ceiling at top-40 IDL.
Indianapolis's broader defensive identity around the multi-year offensive instability puts continued Adebawore production partly outside his control.

What to watch: Whether Adebawore crosses into tier 4 (top 30) in 2026, the threshold for confirming the developmental climb continues.
