Southern DT Davin Cotton brings proven pass-rush juice and blue-chip pedigree
Davin Cotton is a high-upside interior defender for Southern whose calling card is disruptive play: he arrived as a unanimous four-star recruit and was ranked No. 9 overall in Louisiana by 247Sports, then translated that talent into 17 career sacks. That matters because he offers more than size on the inside—he has real get-off and backfield impact from the defensive tackle spot. If you want a DT with proven pass-rush ability, toughness, and a pedigree that suggests NFL-level traits, Cotton is the kind of fit that can tilt protection schemes and create problems on obvious passing downs.
