Big-bodied freshman DL with local roots and upside
Dalton Woodall is a 6'3", 290-pound defensive lineman from Charleston, South Carolina who enters Charleston Southern as a freshman with the kind of frame that can plug gaps and absorb blocks. In his 2023 high school season at James Island, he posted 37 total tackles and 2.0 sacks, showing disruptive flashes, and his recruiting profile listed him as a top-end interior body for his class locally. He also appears to have redshirted in 2025, so the big question is development: if the raw power turns into consistent leverage and hand use, he could become a useful interior run defender with room to grow.
