Long, versatile EDGE with power-conference upside
Bland is a 6-foot-4, 220-pound edge rusher from Carthage, Missouri, committed to Oklahoma State and ranked among the better Missouri prospects in his class, including No. 11 in the state on the Cowboys’ roster page and No. 81 nationally at EDGE by Rivals. He stands out for his length, speed, and two-way athleticism—he also plays tight end—plus reports note a 4.6 forty and a strong work ethic in the classroom. That blend of frame, movement skills, and upside makes him a fit for teams wanting a developmental pass rusher with room to add mass and become more disruptive off the edge.
