Rex Bonham brings size-and-effort upside to Eastern Illinois’ defensive front
Bonham is a defensive lineman with a background that suggests versatility and toughness, having played both tight end and defensive tackle at Tecumseh HS while helping his team to a 10-2 season and a run to the Ohio Division II playoffs.[1] That kind of two-way pedigree usually translates to functional strength, physicality, and a willingness to do the dirty work in the trenches—traits that matter more than raw stats for a DL projection.[1] If you want an interior lineman who likely fits a blue-collar, high-motor profile, Bonham is worth a look.
