USC’s disruptive interior defender with pro-caliber size
LaJuan Ramsey is a physically imposing interior lineman who brought real edge to USC’s defensive front, with a 6'3", 300-pound frame and the kind of inside presence that can help collapse pockets and absorb blockers. In his 2005 USC season, he was battling for a starting defensive tackle job, which points to a player valued for toughness and rotational reliability more than flashy stat lines. If you want a DT who can hold up inside and raise the floor of the run defense, he fits that profile; if you need a high-sack, high-production wrecking ball, that’s not really his calling card.[8][7]
