Names to Know:DL

Army Sr Cameron Allen-2025 40tk 13.5tfl 7.5sacks

Allen comes into this season as one of the most dominant defensive players in the CSFL. After two very quiet years at Army Allen burst onto the scene as a junior finishing the season top 3 in the nation in TFL and sacks. Allen continues a strong tradition of great defensive linemen at Army. The Black Knights almost always have a few solid guys up front but there are a few who have stood above the rest. Allen has cemented himself as one of those few. Good get off with power and speed make for a dangerous combination. Expect Allen to have a monster senior year as he continues to be one of the best defensive players in the CSFL.

Navy Sr Mick Tabor- 2025 28tk 9.5tfl 3.5sacks

Tabor is the anchor for what has been a great Navy defense the last few years. Tabor brings great tenacity and effort as a interior defensive linemen and acts as the heartbeat of the Mids defense. The now seasoned defensive linemen sets the table for the rest of the Navy defense. It’s common to see Tabor fighting tooth and nail through a double in an attempt to make a play. Tabor has yet to have a season with more solo tackles than assisted tackles, but this could be the season that changes that. Expect Tabor to be one of the best defensive linemen in the CSFL this season.

Cornell Jr Ben Roerden-2025 45tk 8.5tfl 5.5sacks

Roerden is one of the top seniors for a Cornell team that is trying to get things back on track as a program. Roerden is an excellent run defender. He uses his hands well and his motor allows him to make initial plays and secondary effort plays. Roerden also is an excellent pass rusher. That same effort that he brings to the run game allows him to put pressure on offensive linemen in passing situations. The defensive leader brings experience, a relentless motor, and the skills of the trade needed to be an impact player for a Cornell defense looking to right the ship this season.

Army Jr Tyrus Carter-2025 31tk 7tfl 4sacks

Carter enters his 3rd season as one of the better interior defensive linemen in the CSFL. Carter brings a tenacity and motor that makes him difficult for interior offensive linemen to deal with. He pairs that relentlessness with great strength for his position. His strength is such a factor that offenses sometimes need to dedicate two linemen to blocking him to stop him from getting penetration or knock back at the line of scrimmage. Carter has the benefit of playing with a standout edge defender in Cameron Allen although he is a top player in his own right. Offenses should have a tough time planning for Allen on the edge and Carter in the middle.

Midway Soph Tristian Euell-2025 45tk 12.5tfl 5sacks 1int

Euell had a phenomenal freshman season. The tall lanky end walked right into the MSFL and dominated. Euell showed that he has all the tools to be a dominant defensive player. Speed off the edge, strength fighting off linemen run or pass blocking, getting the quarterback off of his spot, and causing havoc wherever he can. Euell had one of the most impressive freshman seasons that I have seen during my time covering sprint football. Euell enjoys the benefit of playing with other talented defensive players however he may be the best of them all. Expect Euell to have one last monster season before Midway transitions to NAIA.
