Grambling transfer Markeis Sykes brings proven pass-rush production and disruptive flashes off the edge
Markeis Sykes is a defensive lineman who already showed real disruption in the 2024 season at Houston Christian, finishing with 18 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and a forced fumble after playing nine games; earlier, he logged four tackles, two pass breakups, and a blocked kick in 2023 at Grambling State. He projects as a motor-driven DL who can create negative plays and impact special teams, which makes him appealing for a team needing energy and versatility more than pure size-based dominance. The upside is clear: he has production, activity, and a knack for showing up in key moments.[1][2]
