Tom Barger brings size and trench value to Portland State’s defensive line
Tom Barger is a Portland State defensive tackle whose value is tied to the dirty work inside: occupying blockers, holding ground, and helping the defense survive on early downs. Publicly available sources confirm his role with the Vikings, but do not provide enough reliable, current game-by-game production or detailed scouting notes to make a stronger statistical claim. For a team, he profiles as a depth-and-structure fit rather than a headline stat compiler, with the main question being how consistently he can translate interior leverage into disruptive plays.
