Rising 6'5", 275-pound App State freshman with power upside
A 2025 freshman defensive lineman at Appalachian State, Avery is a big-bodied interior presence at 6'5" and 275 pounds, and his high-school production at West Johnston—57 tackles, 14 TFL and 4 sacks as a senior—suggests real disruptive upside rather than just space-eating size. He did not appear in any games in 2025, so the evaluation is still projection-heavy, but his frame and backfield production make him an interesting developmental fit for a program that values length, leverage and upside on the line.
