Lance Zierlein's NFL.com scouting report:
Two-year starter at Kansas State after transferring from North Dakota State. Sigle is well built and plays the game with ideal aggression. He's a physical run defender who can blow up plays in the backfield but is in too big a hurry as a tackler, resulting in a higher miss rate. He might lack the necessary speed and instincts to make plays in coverage from man or zone. Sigle is listed as a safety, but he will need to play near the line of scrimmage or as a big nickel with coverage limitations. He has NFL backup potential with good special teams traits.
