UT Martin’s 6-2, 265-pound freshman DL Baasel Al-Absi brings bulk, backfield disruption, and upside
In the 2026 season, Baasel Al-Absi enters UT Martin as a physically imposing freshman defensive lineman at 6-2, 265 pounds, with a recruiting résumé built on production and disruption: 39 tackles, seven tackles for loss, four sacks, and seven quarterback hurries as a senior, plus first-team all-region honors. That profile suggests a tough interior defender who can collapse pockets and chase plays down, not just eat blocks. If you want a young DL with proven high-school production, size, and room to grow, he’s a legitimate developmental fit.
