Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Justin Rhodes
Wins the gap play after play. Two seasons in the Georgia Southern defensive front to date. The first one came in 2024: All-Sun Belt. A game that shows it: 5 tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss against South Carolina State — Week 3, 2024.
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
20 tackles. 0 passes defended. 0 interceptions. 3 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.
