Dariyn Choates brought veteran disruption to Sac State’s defensive front
In the 2024 season, Sac State’s Dariyn Choates was an all-Big Sky first-team force, piling up 52 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss and 7 sacks while earning a reputation as a quick, hard-to-block interior lineman[1][2]. The best part: his game isn’t just production—it’s leverage, burst and backfield chaos, the kind of disruptive DL profile that can flip a drive fast. For a team needing immediate pass-rush punch and a tone-setting physical presence, Choates looks like a strong fit. His résumé also shows resilience, bouncing back from earlier injury issues to become one of the league’s nastiest problems up front[2][3].
