Ryan Carr brings old-school trench size and developmental upside to Western Illinois
Ryan Carr is a 6'4", 245-pound defensive lineman who has the frame and interior power coaches love in the trenches, with Western Illinois listing him on its 2013 roster as a junior out of Joliet JC. The data available here is limited, so the clean takeaway is that he profiles as a physical, size-first DL rather than a stat-chasing flashy rusher—more “set the tone and hold the point” than “grab the headlines.” If your team needs a tough, gap-anchoring lineman with room to develop, Carr is the kind of blue-collar fit worth a hard look.
