Akron’s 6-4, 285-pound interior disruptor is finally giving the Zips a real DL piece
Jon’Trell Mixon enters the 2026 season as a redshirt junior at Akron, and his 2025 production showed real interior value: 11 total tackles, 1 sack, and 1 tackle for loss in a rotational role. He brings good size at 6-4, 285, and the best reason to care is the upside — he’s still relatively early in his college career, has added meaningful experience, and looks like a sturdy fit if a team wants a physical, gap-sound DL who can grow into more snaps.
