Disruptive UNC Interior DL with Rare Playmaking Juice
Ritzie’s 2024 season at North Carolina showed why evaluators liked him: 40 tackles, 6.5 sacks, and a pick-six, rare production for an interior lineman, plus an early-season three-sack breakout that earned ACC DL of the Week and Outland Trophy National Player of the Week honors.[2][1] At 6-foot-4.5 and 290 pounds, he offers a blend of length, power, and pass-rush upside, with a track record of steady improvement across four seasons. He looks like a fit for teams that want a disruptive, high-motor defensive tackle who can collapse the pocket and make momentum-changing plays.[2][9]
