Javon Kinlaw
Wins the gap play after play. Third year in the same defensive front at South Carolina. The first one came in 2019: All-SEC. One game to point at: 4 tackles against Clemson — Week 14, 2019.
Play style
Stout at the point of attack — steady tackle-for-loss production without a standout pass-rush number.

What the box score actually says
35 tackles. 2 passes defended. 0 interceptions. 6 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.
