He's a 3-4 nose tackle at the next level. His job isn't to get sacks and TFLs. Its to take up double teams, plug his gaps, and on 3rd down (if he's actually on the field) to get pressure up the middle so the QB moves out of the pocket.
Even the best nose tackles in the NFL rarely gets sacks or TFLs. They do the dirty work that goes unnoticed by the typical fan that is just watching where the ball does during the game.
