Massive, high-upside Southern Miss freshman DL with Power 5 pedigree
Amir Leonard-Jean Charles is a 6-foot-5, 305-pound defensive lineman who arrived at Southern Miss as a three-star recruit with offers from major programs, and that size plus recruiting profile make him a clear upside play rather than a finished product.[3][8] His high school production at Lipscomb Academy included 31 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and two sacks as a senior, suggesting real disruptive ability, while his recruiting rankings placed him among the more respected defensive-line prospects in Tennessee.[3][8][15] He fits a team looking for length, mass and developmental potential on the interior, though there is not yet college game-film production to judge his current impact.[1][3]
