Experienced Ball State edge with steady production and veteran utility
In the 2006 season, Riley Larimore logged 24 total tackles for Ball State, and his career stat line also shows 25 tackles in 2005 and 15 in 2004, with no sacks recorded in those seasons[1]. That profile points to a reliable, assignment-sound defensive end rather than a pure stat-sheet hunter, which is valuable if a team wants discipline and gap integrity over splashy volatility[1]. Ball State’s 2026 defensive context has been middling overall, so Larimore’s appeal is the kind of dependable, seasoned presence coaches can trust when the trenches get messy[8].
