Ricky Samuel brings disruptive edge and dependable early-down depth for Jacksonville State
Samuel looked like a useful rotational DL for Jacksonville State in 2024, playing in 13 games with five starts and finishing with 23 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, a half-sack, and a forced fumble. What stands out is not just the tackle count, but that he flashed real play-impact ability in key moments, including a season-best seven tackles against Eastern Michigan and a takeaway versus Southern Miss. He profiles as a high-motor, physical interior piece who can help against the run and create occasional chaos up front.
