Morgan State’s interior enforcer with real trench value
James Cole is a seasoned Morgan State nose tackle who brings mass, leverage, and old-school line disruption to the Bears’ front. In Morgan State’s 2026 materials, he’s described as a senior nose tackle who has been “tough in the trenches,” and earlier team notes praised him as a solid pass rusher expected to make an impact as a starter. That profile fits a plug-the-gap DL who can absorb double teams, hold the point, and free teammates to make plays—exactly the kind of gritty interior piece coaches love.
