Long, disruptive Indiana DL with proven big-play value
In the 2016 season, Ralph Green III gave Indiana a 6-foot-5, 315-pound interior defender who flashed real backfield disruption, finishing his Hoosiers career with 92 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, four sacks, eight pass breakups, one forced fumble, and two blocked field goals[2][7]. His calling card was versatility and active hands: he could hold the point, squeeze lanes, and still affect throws and special teams, which is why he earned Indiana’s 2016 Harold Mauro Loyalty to IU Football Award[8]. The fit? A tough, effort-first DL who brings length, motor, and sneaky playmaking—exactly the kind of lineman coaches love when they want more than just a space-eater[2][11].
